The 65-year-old, who was previously Manchester United’s interim manager, was thought to be a strong contender for the Bayern position. Rangnick highlighted the team’s recent strong performance under his direction and underlined his commitment to the cause, even though Austria faces a difficult group in the upcoming competition.
His choice shows that he values the goals of the Austrian national team more than club administration. In the meantime, Bayern’s efforts to recruit elite coaches have encountered obstacles as both Julian Nagelsmann and Xabi Alonso have chosen to stay in their current positions.
In addition to Rangnick’s confirmed commitment to Austria, the club faces uncertainty in their coaching search as Tuchel sought to win a second Champions League title with Bayern.
