MUNICH (AP) — Austria coach Ralf Rangnick has confirmed he is a candidate to take over at Bayern Munich next season.
“There has been contact from Bayern Munich,” Rangnick told Austrian website 90minuten.at in an interview that was picked up by German media on Wednesday.
The German coach said he has informed the Austrian soccer federation about Bayern’s interest but “at the moment there is no reason for me to deal with it intensively or specifically.”
Asked when that moment would be, Rangnick replied, “when Bayern would say, ‘We want you.’ And then I would have to ask myself, ‘Do I want this at all?’”
Bayern is looking for a new coach with Thomas Tuchel poised to leave the German powerhouse at the end of the season.
After missing out on the Bundesliga title, Bayern faces the prospect of a first trophyless season since 2012. Tuchel’s team is still in contention in the Champions League, where it faces Real Madrid in the semifinals.
