Rangnick led the United team after Ole Gunnar Solskjær was fired in November and failed to lift the team to the Champions League place. From the start, it was decided that Rangnick would enter a consulting role next season, but now it is clear that it will not happen.
It was confirmed in late April that Rangnick would lead the Austrian national team, and it can not be combined with the consulting job, United informs on their website.
“We would like to thank Ralf Rangnick for his work as interim manager over the last six months. We have agreed that Ralf will only focus on his job as manager for Austria, and that he will therefore not be a consultant “, the club writes.
Dutchman Erik ten Hag has taken over as United manager ahead of next season, and it was expected that he and Rangnick would work together on the club’s way forward. Rangnick was very involved in the work of hiring the former Ajax manager.
Rangnick will lead the Austrian national team for the first time in the upcoming national league matches in June. He also confirmed that he is leaving United at a press conference in connection with that on Sunday.
