Ralf Rangnick has held talks to become the new manager of the Austrian national team after reportedly learning that his responsibility at Manchester United would be watered down.
The 63-year-old is currently interim boss at Old Trafford, presiding over first-team affairs until the Red Devils appoint a new permanent manager ahead of next season. Rangnick is then due to move into a two-year consultancy role with the club, starting this summer, with it being understood that the acclaimed German coach would be consulted in the process of appointing his successor.
However, a recent report from the National suggests that Rangnick will have a 'limited say in the matter' and now the ex- RB Leipzig boss has been mooted for a new job amid the uncertainty over his role at United. Kurier claim that Peter Schottel, sporting director of the Austrian FA, flew into Manchester via private jet on Monday to speak to the tactician about taking the vacant post in Vienna. After the news made headlines, the OFB firmly denied on social media that a meeting took place.
