THE last time an Austrian managed in the Premier League, his team went downhill faster than favourite son Franz Klammer.

That was back in 2021, when Ralf Rangnick took charge of Manchester United as caretaker boss on an interim basis.

If that sounds odd, it’s because it was. Rangnick went on to become known as ‘Wreck-it Ralf’ - and left at the end of his first season because he wanted to take charge of the Austrian national team.

But fast forward to now and another Austrian is doing the exact opposite to what Rangnick did.

He's repairing the reputation of his nation when it comes to success, not to mention enhancing his own one beyond what anyone had ever imagined.

Take a bow, Oliver Glasner (who we've mocked up as international man of mystery Austin Powers, right).
