Ralf Rangnick | Austria manager

[ArbeitervonWien]

This. And you wont hear many people voicing a different opinion on that in the Kurve.

I know this is hard to understand for people not familiar with the countries and sometimes even for those who are, but power politics in Austria are something very unique and very hard to read for us Piefkes

The structural reform of the ÖFB is a great idea and long overdue. It's just hampered by power fights between cliques inside the ÖFB. Basically the team and Rangnick are on side of Neuhold (financial manager). Because of an ongoing fight for power between him and general secretary Hollerer ÖFB president and initiator of the reform Mitterndorfer decide to fire both.

Add bad communication via the press and you have a typical austrian way of making a ridiculous mess out of a good thing.

No, I won't. But it goes back to his Hannover 96 days.

I can absolutely believe that. And that doesn't change one bit that I still think of him as our best manager in my lifetime

Rangnick won, Mittendorfer resigned:

 

[Sir Erik ten Hag]

Rangnick won, Mittendorfer resigned:

When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.

He gets the backing from the players so there was only going to be one outcome.

Klopp to Leipzig, Rangnick to Dortmund? Weird season

There were discussions above of him having a problem with the Austrian board, so could be that he quits as the NT manager and takes th Dortmund job? Don't think I remember a manager managing a club and national team at the same time (except in an FM save of mine )

Would be fun to have him at Dortmund though!

Scroll up on this page, their president resigned in November due to their power struggle.

SAF managed Aberdeen and Scotland at the same time, Rinus Michels managed Barca and The Netherlands to name a couple, I think Guss Hiddink also did a stint as a national team manager and a club

Francesco Calzona managed Napoli and Slovakia last season

Dortmund going for Rangnick after they held talks with ten Hag recently. There were even talks of van Gaal potentially taking over at Dortmund. Seems like our ex managers are around there or Turkey.
