Austria coach Rangnick announces turning down Bayern Munich

Austria coach Ralf Rangnick has announced he's rejected the job at Bayern Munich.

Bayern wanted Rangnick to replace Thomas Tuchel, who will leave at the end of the season.

But former Manchester United boss Rangnick said this morning in a statement: “I'm the Austrian team coach with all my heart.

“I really enjoy this task and am determined to successfully continue on our chosen path.

“I would like to expressly emphasise that this is not a rejection of Bayern, but rather a decision for my team and our common goals. Our full concentration is on the Euros. We will do everything we can to get as far as possible."
