[OSEN=고성환 인턴기자] Ralph Langnick (63, Manchester United) manager is expected to take over the Austrian national team. It is known that he is worried about the position of Manchester United’s technical advisor, which he was supposed to assume from next season.
The British ‘Daily Mail’ reported exclusively on the 29th (Korean time), “Manager Rangnick has given up his two-year technical advisory job at Manchester United and is preparing to become the new Austrian national team manager.”
Rangnick, who is now interim manager at United, was due to hand over the baton to Erik Ten Haach from next season and serve as Manchester United’s technical advisor for two years. However, he was given the opportunity to take over the Austrian national team following coach Franco Foda, and he doesn’t seem to be able to shake it off.
According to the media, he is currently seriously considering the Austrian Football Association proposal and could make an official announcement as early as today. The Austrian Football Association denied that they had contacted Rangnick earlier that day, but rumors are rising that Rangnick will be appointed as a new manager is due to be announced today.
In fact, Rangnick has taken on a rather ambiguous advisory role since joining United after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He was expected to play an important role in his next managerial appointment, but he also admitted that he had never spoken to Ten Haach.
Even the technical advisor, which he will be taking over the next two years, is only a condition of working six days a month. As a result, there is also the prospect of being able to serve as the manager of the Austrian national team. ‘The Athletic’ predicted that, “Even if Rangnick takes over the Austrian national team, he can also serve as Manchester United’s technical adviser.
However, the ‘Daily Mail’ said, “Manager Rangnick is ready to turn his back on Manchester United’s technical adviser role. At the end of this season, he can close his relationship with Manchester United.”
In fact, coach Rangnick has previously criticized the Manchester United squad as “selfish and overly inflated, lacking in skills but too strong” and criticizing their low professionalism. If Rangnick chooses a shocking breakup with Manchester United, it seems that his difficult half year has had a significant impact. /finekosh@osen.co.kr
