News about Xaver Schlager

After their manager was officially condemned by Cristiano Ronaldo this week, Austria midfielders Xaver Schlager and Christoph Baumgartner have rushed to protect Ralf Rangnick. During Ronaldo's bombshell interview with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese superstar scathingly condemned the transfer of former interim coach Rangnick to Manchester United, claiming he was "not even a coach." Rangnick, who served as the sport director at Lokomotiv Moscow before joining the Red Devils, has been Austria's national team coach since June and is gearing up for the World Cup this week.
