Rangers Appoint Danny Röhl as Head Coach

Rangers have appointed Danny Röhl as head coach on a two-and-a-half-year deal, with the 36-year-old starting immediately and due to take charge for Thursday’s Europa League trip to SK Brann. He replaces Russell Martin, who was sacked after a 123‑day spell that covered 17 games as Rangers sit sixth in the Premiership following a deeply disappointing start to the season. Röhl brings coaching experience from RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Southampton and the Germany set-up and his only senior managerial spell was at Sheffield Wednesday, where he helped engineer survival before leaving amid the club’s financial problems. The German had briefly ruled himself out of the vacancy but re-entered talks after negotiations with Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat collapsed. Röhl said “we have no time to waste,” expects immediate results across four competitions and plans to add staff with Rangers connections to his backroom team.
