Austria's World Cup dreams: Rangnick plans, but leaves the future open

The Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) plans a possible contract extension with the team boss Ralf Rangnick. In an interview with ORF, the ÖFB spokesman Mitterdorfer explained that talks will take place next week to find out what ideas Rangnick has. This information is significant because the current Treaty of Rangnick is valid for the 2026 World Cup until the end of the qualification.

Rangnick, whose goal it is to lead Austria to a World Cup finals after 1998, could remain in the event of a successful qualification, up to and including the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada. Mitterdorfer is optimistic and believes that Rangnick will continue to enjoy working for the ÖFB even after the World Cup. Mitterdorfer emphasized that the current relationship between Rangnick and the association was good despite occasional tensions.

The background of the contract negotiations

A structural reform is also sought to put more decision -making powers in the hands of a new management. This could play a role in future negotiations with Rangnick. Mitterdorfer emphasized that there can always be irritations in the diversity of football, but the working atmosphere within the association is positive.

The talks are eagerly awaited, and it remains to be seen which ideas and plans Rangnick will present. The aim of the World Cup qualification has a special importance for the ÖFB, which hopes to continue the successful cooperation in order to show outstanding achievements in international football.
