The 65-year-old decided once morest a move to German record champions Bayern Munich, who had courted him. “I am the Austrian team boss with all my heart. This task gives me incredible joy and I am determined to successfully continue on our chosen path,” said Rangnick.
“Decision for my team”
Most recently, according to media reports, it was more likely that the decision would be in favor of Bayern. Two days following Munich’s 2-2 draw in the Champions League semi-final first leg once morest Real Madrid, everything turned out differently. The employer of ÖFB ace Konrad Laimer has to conjure up a new variant out of the hat following the rejections of the desired coaches Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann and now Rangnick as the successor to the outgoing Thomas Tuchel in the summer.
MATCH PLAN – the TV football show:
“I would like to expressly emphasize that this is not a rejection of FC Bayern, but a decision for my team and our common goals. Our full concentration is on the European Championship. We will do everything we can to get as far as possible there,” it said Rangnick. The final round starts on June 14th in Germany. The ÖFB team will face France (June 17th), Poland (June 21st) and the Netherlands (June 25th) in Group D. Surviving the group phase and making it to the round of 16 is the minimum goal.
