Turin, 10 June (LaPresse) – ‘I am optimistic about his decision to stay with Austria.’ The president of the Austrian Football Association, Joseff Proll, spoke in these terms about the future of manager Ralf Rangnick, whose contract expires after the World Cup and who is being courted by Milan for the role of technical director. ‘We expect a decision in the coming days or weeks,’ added the OFB chief. "I am in contact with him and I am very calm. If he accepts, we will be very happy; if not, we won’t part on bad terms. We know what to expect from one another because we discuss things very openly and directly, in a very positive atmosphere.‘ Proll did not comment on the rumours linking Rangnick with the Rossoneri. ’My focus is on what we can discuss with him to convince him to choose us,‘ he concluded. ’And I believe we have already taken many initial steps in that direction."
