Austria manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed he was in talks with Bayern Munich to become the club’s head coach in the summer.
The former Manchester United boss said “there has been contact” between himself and Bayern but would not be drawn on whether he would take the offer.
“I’ve also informed the Austrian FA (OeFB) about it. We have a very trusting relationship,” he said in an interview with Austrian outlet 90 Minutes published on Wednesday.
Bayern are trying to replace outgoing manager Thomas Tuchel after they agreed to part ways in February.
German media reports the club attempted to sign Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso and ulian
Nagelsmann, who previously coached Bayern, but both declined, were rebuffed as both decided to stay in their current jobs.
