Things remain exciting in poker around Ralf Rangnick. The Austrian national football coach is apparently plagued by doubts as to whether he should accept FC Bayern’s offer.
The search for a coach at FC Bayern could take a little longer. The current preferred candidate According to media information, Ralf Rangnick apparently has doubts as to whether he should accept the offer from the German football record champions.
This is reported by the “Salzburger Nachrichten” and refers to the environment of the 65-year-old and Bayern. The Austrian national coach has not yet made a decision.
According to the report, Rangnick can only imagine a move to Bayern if he can have a “very important say” in transfers and the support staff. The Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) would probably not stop its coach, who will definitely look after the team at the European Championships in the summer, from making a move despite a contract until 2026, but insists on a transfer fee.
Rangnick is considered the preferred coaching candidate in Munich – but only after Leverkusen champion coach Xabi Alonso and national coach Julian Nagelmann canceled the Bayern bosses. After a season in which the Munich team were clearly left behind in the Bundesliga, he should now make a change if he is accepted. Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeneß said on Friday that he thought Rangnick would say yes or no within a week.
