The Austrian FA have distanced themselves from a move for Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
Speculation had emerged suggesting Rangnick had been targeted as a potential replacement for Franco Foda, who left his post in the wake of the defeat to Wales in a World Cup play-off last month.
But the Austrian FA issued a statement on Wednesday, posting on Twitter: "Clarification: There was no meeting between OFB sports director Peter Schottel and Ralf Rangnick, coach of ManUtd."
Rangnick, the former Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig manager, replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on an interim basis at Old Trafford in November.
The 63-year-old German has struggled to oversee an improvement in performances and results, with United slipping to seventh in the Premier League and exiting the Champions League at the round-of-16 stage.
Rangnick is due to start a two-year consultancy role at United this summer.
Paris St Germain’s former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag are the favourites to succeed Rangnick in the dugout.
