The coach responds to the banner on TV after the match with Tunisia: “It’s no secret that I’m very happy with Austria”. In the meantime, however, the signature on the renewal with the national team has not arrived and this week he will meet the Rossoneri leaders…
“It’s no secret that I get along very well with Austria”. Ralf Rangnick responded thus on Austrian TV, after the national team’s last pre-World Cup friendly against Tunisia. The national team will leave for the United States on Thursday and Rangnick continues his line of communication, the same as the last few days: he doesn’t want to talk about Milan and only refers to his relationship with the Austrian football federation. However, the situation is a little more complex than that and after all, if he were 100% convinced of continuing as Austria coach, he would have already signed the renewal proposal with doubled salary. That proposal, however, has been on the table for months. Rangnick met with Milan last week and could speak again soon with Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. RedBird’s hypothesis – entrusting him with Milan as head of the sporting area – fascinates him: it would be another great challenge in a long career spent entirely between Germany and Austria, with the exception of the months at Manchester United. We will understand a lot in the next few days and the weekend.

The Vienna fans, meanwhile, have expressed their opinion. Under the curve of the Ernst Happel Stadion, during Austria-Tunisia, a red and white banner could be clearly read: “Ralf, with you ready for the islands #Euro2028”. The islands are the British Isles, Great Britain and Ireland, which will host the final phase of the European Championship in two years. Yes, it is an invitation to stay for another two years. Rangnick will think about it some more and give an answer to the Austrian federation by the end of the week. The decision on Milan will follow… and from one answer, we will understand what the other might be.
