Ralf Rangnick Discharged From Hospital, to Lead Austria Camp Monday

His return follows ankle surgeries complicated by a hospital infection.

Overview

  • The Austrian FA confirmed he left the Murnau trauma clinic and will oversee preparations from Monday for the World Cup qualifiers on October 9 and 12 against San Marino and Romania.
  • He underwent multiple ankle operations and stayed inpatient longer than planned due to a hospital-acquired infection.
  • In his absence, assistant coach Lars Kornetka handled the squad announcement earlier this week.
  • During September’s match in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he used a thick‑tyred e‑bike to cross the pitch to reduce strain on his ankle, a clip that drew wide attention.
  • Austria has won all four qualifiers to date and sits second in Group H, level on points with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
