Crisis meeting at the ÖFB: Rangnick and the pressing questions of football!

In the course of the upcoming challenges for the Austrian national team, team boss Ralf Rangnick is under pressure. The ÖFB election committee will meet on Friday, but the view could already be aimed at the decisive game against Serbia on Sunday. Should the Austrians lose again as a better team, Rangnick would be confronted with the critical current account of its predecessors, such as oe24.at reported. Despite a superior style of play, the team has not been able to win three times in the past few months, with Rangnick even giving the weak opportunities as the main cause.

The situation becomes particularly explosive, since Rangnick also indicates internal conflicts in the association. In a recent statement, he criticized the impending termination of the managing director Bernhard Neuhold and made it clear that his relationship with ÖFB President Klaus Mitterdorfer has been heavily burdened since a meeting in August. Rangnick said that since then there has been "zero contact" for the leader of the association, which further heats up the tensions within the ÖFB. "But that does not mean that we say yes and amen," says Rangnick according to The press .

In the upcoming Presidium meeting, Mitterdorfer could announce the dismissals of Neuhold and Secretary General Thomas Hollerer. Rangnick underlines the urgency of a stable leadership in the association in order to create the necessary conditions for sporting success. The situation remains tense, not least because Rangnick insists that every change in the association has to improve the working conditions for the team. "In truth, the ÖFB needs three new managers, and that relatively quickly," emphasized Rangnick, at the same time emphasizing its bond with the team and the country.
