However the former Brann Bergen player has reacted by confirming he will no longer make himself available to play for his country, and criticised the Austrian set-up as a shambles.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Scharner was quoted as saying: "I've always been a huge patriot, ready to play for Austria, but recent events have killed my patriotism stone dead."
"It's the fault of the unprofessional set-up at the national FA. I don't want to name names or wash dirty linen. but there is a complete lack of professionalism."
"I've decided there's no point in me carrying on. I phoned national coach Pepi Hickersberger on Monday to ask him to accept my resignation - and he did."
"My decision is final."
Austrias loss is our gain i guess.
