Rangnick's future is uncertain with the 2026 World Cup fast approaching. |
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Milan have identified Rangnick as the leading candidate for the Sporting Director position. Following a meeting with owner Gerry Cardinale, the former Manchester United manager is reportedly very impressed with the "Rossoneri's" plan. The two sides have scheduled further discussions for next week to move closer to an agreement.
Meanwhile, the Austrian Football Federation is unwilling to lose the 67-year-old strategist. The Austrian national team has offered Rangnick a contract extension to keep him after the 2026 World Cup. However, the offer is only valid for about a week, meaning the German coach must make a decision about his future soon.
Milan are quite optimistic about their ability to persuade Rangnick. The difference lies in the fact that the Milanese club wants him to take on a managerial and strategic planning role rather than directly leading the team. This is considered a crucial factor because Rangnick previously rejected the opportunity to become Milan's head coach in 2020.
However, pursuing Rangnick with the World Cup fast approaching also carries considerable risks. The German coach has the opportunity to make a significant impact with the Austrian national team at the biggest football event on the planet. Any decision to leave before the tournament could spark controversy in European football circles.
On Milan's side, the management believes that Rangnick's experience in building a modern football model will help the club regain its former glory.
Rangnick and the Austrian national team are currently making their final preparations for the 2026 World Cup. In the early hours of June 2nd, the team continued their impressive form by defeating Tunisia 1-0 in a friendly match.
