Dietmar Constantini has stepped down immediately as coach of Austria's national team, one week after agreeing to leave at the end of the year.
Austria football federation president Leo Windtner says sports director Willi Ruttensteiner will take charge for the European Championship qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan next month.
Austria is out of contention to reach the Euro 2012 finals and lost 6-2 to Germany this month.
Constantini was hired in April 2009 and won just seven of 23 matches as coach.
