According to Biography, Austrian national team coach Ronnik was infected with bacteria after multiple surgeries and is still hospitalized for further treatment.
In June this year, Rangnick underwent routine surgery due to wear on his right ankle, but was then admitted to the hospital again in July due to complications. He had another surgery last week in Murnau, Bavaria, and continued to be hospitalized due to infection with bacteria.
Ronnick, 67, has withdrawn from the Austrian national team roster press conference scheduled for September 29, but he is expected to return to the coach's seat in the World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Romania in October. Previously, in Austria's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rangnick rode his bicycle to direct the game on the sidelines due to difficulties in walking. Ronnick arrived on the scene on a bicycle during a pre-race interview with Austrian broadcaster ORF, and then rode his bike to the locker room during the intermission. He joked: "Otherwise, I'll go too far."
Since 2022, Rangnick has been the head coach of the Austrian national team. In the 2024 European Cup, he led the team to successfully advance to the quarterfinals in a group with France, the Netherlands and Poland. Under his leadership, Austria won 21 of 37 games.
