It would be incredibly exciting! - A fascinating concept by Rangnick for the Euros

David Alaba, a key Austrian player, might not be able to play in the European Championships held in Germany due to a torn cruciate ligament that happened in December. His chances of participating are slim, as it's a race against time to recover.

Rangnick, Ralf's (65) coaching team, might have come up with a plan for Alaba (31). Alaba has had a significant role throughout his years, both in the Austrian national team and at Real Madrid. He's crucial for the team's structure on and off the field.

Recently, Alaba (105 international caps) was even in the Real squad, with the understanding that he wouldn't play. The Austrian Football Federation (ÖFB) is now trying to bring Alaba (105 international caps) on board as part of their coaching staff. Reports suggest that Alaba will accept this offer.

Alaba was even officially in the Real squad for the Champions League match against FC Bayern (2:1)

This move will enable Rangnick to nominate his 26-man squad without the absence of an injured player like Alaba. Moreover, Alaba can still be part of the Euro team, despite his cruciate ligament injury. However, his specific duties within the coaching structure still need to be determined - he may even become a co-coach.

Real Madrid doesn't expect Alaba (431 competitive games for Munich) to make a comeback until late summer, which would be after the European Championships.
