The next manager of Austria will be announced by the end of the year, but he will continue in his role as a consultant for Manchester United.
At the end of November, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left the club to take a job as a consultant, and at the beginning of December, the club's new manager, Robert Rangnick, agreed to take temporary charge of the team until the summer.
The results have been disappointing, with United currently sixth in the league and six points behind fourth place and a spot in the playoffs for next season, as the campaign draws to a close.
The permanent boss of United next season will be ten Hag, but he will still be a consultant. The German will be able to combine his work in Austria with his work in that role for the next two years.

The last few details are still being negotiated, and the preferred candidate is yet to sign a contract.
The Austrian FA will hold an executive committee meeting on Friday morning, when the board is expected to approve the appointment of Rangnick, and an announcement could follow shortly after that.
At the beginning of the month, the OFB had to deny approaching the man who was the director of football for Red Bull Salzburg.
The Austrian daily, which broke the news of the appointment on Thursday, said that the sporting director had traveled to Manchester to offer the job.
The OFB wrote on their official account that there was no meeting between Peter Schottel and the coach of Manchester United.
Franco Foda resigned as Austria's coach after their 2-0 defeat to Wales which denied them a spot at the World Cup.
United are yet to discuss what the influence of the 63-year-old will be going forward.
