Hallo, Ralf! Rangnick takes charge of his first training session as Austria's new boss as his side gear up for their Nations League hat-trick... after he announced he would abandon his Man United consultancy role

Ralf Rangnick has taken charge of his first Austria training session, a day after it was announced he would no longer take up his Manchester United consultancy role.

The 63-year-old has been officially unveiled as the country's new manager ahead of their hat-trick of Nations League matches against Croatia, Denmark and France, and today took to the pitch for the first time to lead his players through drills.

This morning, Rangnick was pictured getting hands-on from the off, and he will be hoping that his spell is an improvement on his dismal tenure at Old Trafford.
