Premier League: Ralf Rangnick supposedly before sensations

According to a report by the "Kurier", Ralf Rangnick is to become team boss of the Austrian national soccer team.

The newspaper wrote a "sensation" in its online edition. According to this, association president Gerhard Millletich wants to present the Presidium Rangnick "as favorites" on the post this Friday.

Rangnick's consultant Martin Hägele told the "German Press Agency" that as always, he would not participate in speculation.

In this context, he also referred to a report by the newspaper, according to which Rangnick should have met with the ÖFB Franko Fodas director Peter Schöttel at the beginning of the month. The association had denied this itself.

Successor for Franko Foda wanted

The Austrians missed the qualification for the World Cup finals in Qatar at the end of the year. Franko Foda then announced his farewell. The now 56 -year -old former Bundesliga professional had trained the selection since November 2017.

In search of a successor to the German coach, the association last had contact with the former Bundesliga professional Andreas Herzog and the former Bundesliga trainer Peter Stöger.

After this season, Rangnick will only work as a consultant at Manchester United if the contract of the 63 -year -old native Swabian as a coach at the traditional English club from the Premier League expires.
