Santa Barbara (California)/Vienna – Ralf Rangnick provided clarity a few days before Austria’s World Cup start. The team boss will remain with the Austrian national football team beyond the tournament. The 67-year-old German has signed a new contract that initially binds him until the end of 2027. The ÖFB confirmed this on Saturday. If you successfully qualify for the 2028 European Championship, the contract will automatically be extended until the tournament in Great Britain and Ireland.
