Who is Austria coach?


The experienced Ralf Rangnick took charge of Austria in May 2022. Having previously enjoyed spells at a number of high-profile German Bundesliga sides such as Stuttgart, Schalke and Leipzig, Rangnick was also interim coach at English Premier League team Manchester United for five months between December 2021 and May 2022 before taking the Austria job.


Austria key player: Marcel Sabitzer


A devastating ACL injury to talismanic captain David Alaba means his contemporaries will have to shoulder more responsibility this summer. Chief among them is midfielder Sabitzer who, fresh from playing a key role in helping Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final, will hope to enjoy a similar fairy-tale run in Germany. Boasting tenacity, vision and an eye for goal from distance, Sabitzer is a vital cog in Rangnick's engine room.


Austria one to watch: Nicolas Seiwald


Praised by Rangnick for his qualities on and off the ball, EURO 2024 could be a breakout tournament for Seiwald, the Austrian Bundesliga Player of the Season for 2022/23, who has been in and out of the Leipzig team this term. The knee injury suffered by Xaver Schlager was bittersweet for Seiwald, giving the 23-year-old more game time with Leipzig but costing him his partner-in-crime in the Austrian midfield.


How did Austria qualify for EURO 2024?
