Former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has ruled himself out of becoming the Germany national team boss.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
With just nine months to go before they host Euro 2024, Germany are on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Hansi Flick on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The former Bayern Munich boss had won just 12 of his 25 games in charge, overseen a group stage exit at last year\u2019s World Cup, and in his last match on Saturday suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Japan.<\/p>\n
The German Football Association (DFB) have a few names in mind for his replacement, with Jurgen Klopp said to be their dream choice, though they acknowledge it would be near-impossible to lure him away from Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Former Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner is also a contender, as is Julian Nagelsmann who has been out of work since getting sacked by Bayern in March and who was a top target for both Chelsea and Tottenham at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
Another name that has been mooted is Rangnick, who is well admired in the Bundesliga from his spells in charge of Stuttgart, Hannover, Schalke, Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n
In England, the 65-year-old is best known for his woeful six months as interim boss of United, where he filled the gap in between Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Odds courtesy of Betfair<\/em><\/p>\n He won just 11 of his 31 games in charge of the Red Devils, clashed with several players including Cristiano Ronaldo and decided against taking his planned consultancy role at the club to take over the Austria national team.<\/p>\n Rangnick is having a better time managing his country, who are unbeaten after four qualifying games and in a strong position to make it to Euro 2024.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s clearly a job he\u2019s comfortable in, with the Austrian claiming he has no interest in the Germany role, telling ORE: \u2018No chance.<\/p>\n \u2018I decided 14 months ago to work as head coach at Austria, prepare the team to qualify for the Euros and play a good role there. Everything else is not a topic for me.\u2019<\/p>\n For now, Rudi Voller will take the reins for Germany, having previously been in charge from 2000-2004, with Die Mannschaft set to play a friendly against France on Tuesday.<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook,\u00a0<\/strong>Twitter\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
