Former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has put an end to speculation linking him with the Bayern Munich job, affirming his commitment to his current role as Austria manager. With Thomas Tuchel set to depart Bayern at the end of the season, the search for his successor is in full swing.

Despite being considered a potential candidate for the Bayern job, Rangnick has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving his position with Austria. The 65-year-old coach, who has a contract until 2026, is focused on leading Austria at Euro 2024 and beyond.
