Set to assume leadership role in ÖFB: the new candidate.
In the world of Austrian football, speculation is mounting as the election of the new ÖFB president and the announcement of the new coach are scheduled for May 18 in Bregenz.
Adi Hütter, a well-known figure in the football scene, has not ruled out the possibility of the ÖFB job being on his mind. However, as of now, there's no official word on who will succeed Ralf Rangnick as the ÖFB team coach or when an announcement might be made.
Rangnick, currently the coach for the ÖFB team, has consistently rejected attempts to poach him from his position. Meanwhile, Ralph Hasenhüttl, the coach at VfL Wolfsburg, is reportedly set to announce his departure from the club in the coming days.
Rumours have been circulating that Hasenhüttl could be the successor to Rangnick at ÖFB. This speculation is further fuelled by reports suggesting that Christian Ilzer, former storm coach, is on his way out at Hoffenheim.
Despite the rumours, the specific nature or identity of Rangnick's successor is still not disclosed. The well-informed sources only suggest that a successor has already been decided.
Meanwhile, Rangnick is reportedly courted by Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund with various roles such as Head of Soccer and Sporting Director. The decision for ÖFB's new coach has allegedly been made, according to Adi Hütter's recent statements.
However, the relationship between Rangnick and the ÖFB presidency has been strained, with sporting criticism from Bartosch, the interim boss, and Gartner, the boss of NOÖ, who stated that there was no development under Rangnick. Bartosch referred to Rangnick as "difficult."
As we approach May 18, football fans in Austria are eagerly waiting for the official announcement regarding the new coach. Keep an eye on official ÖFB communications and reputable football news sources for the latest updates.
After Adi Hütter's recent statements, there are rumors that Ralph Hasenhüttl might be the successor to Ralf Rangnick as the ÖFB team coach. However, the specific identity of Rangnick's successor in the Champions League and European leagues remains undisclosed, fueling ongoing speculation.
