BERLIN (Reuters) - Austria national team boss Ralf Rangnick will not take over Bayern Munich next season but will remain in his current role after this summer's Euro 2024, the coach and the Austrian Football Association said on Thursday.

Rangnick confirmed last week that Bayern had been in touch in their search for a successor to departing Thomas Tuchel, and German media had reported a deal was imminent.
