Ralf Rangnick announced his intention to continue as Austria’s head coach, setting his sights on Euro 2024.
The 65-year-old, formerly interim manager at Manchester United, had been considered a frontrunner for the Bayern job. Despite Austria facing a challenging group at the upcoming tournament, Rangnick expressed his dedication to the team’s cause, highlighting their recent impressive form under his leadership.
His decision reflects a commitment to the Austrian national team’s objectives over club management. Meanwhile, Bayern’s pursuit of top-tier coaches has hit roadblocks, with Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann also opting to remain in their current roles.
As Tuchel aimed to secure a second Champions League title with Bayern, the club faces uncertainty in their coaching search, with Rangnick’s reaffirmed commitment to Austria adding to their challenges.
