EPL: Rangnick quits Man Utd, to focus on Austria

Ralf Rangnick will not continue with Manchester United in his consultancy role next season.

The 63-year-old, who took interim charge of the Red Devils in November, says he has made the decision due to the demands of his new role as Austria manager.

A statement from the Premier League club said: “We would like to thank Ralf Rangnick for his efforts as interim manager over the past six months.

“By mutual agreement, Ralf will now focus solely on his new role as manager of the Austria national team and will not therefore be taking up a consultancy role at Old Trafford.

“We would like to wish Ralf the best of luck in this next chapter of his career.”

The Red Devils finished sixth, with their lowest points tally (58) in the Premier League era, and failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
