Danny Rohl appointed Rangers head coach amid club turmoil

Danny Rohl has been appointed as the new head coach of Rangers, signing a contract until 2028, tasked with turning around a poor start to the season that has left the club struggling in the league and European competitions. Despite being considered a third choice after Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat withdrew from the hiring process, Rohl expressed confidence and focus on winning immediate games and building momentum at the club. Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart defended the appointment, insisting that Rohl was the manager they wanted and taking accountability for the club's difficult start, even amid fan protests against leadership. However, concerns have been raised about Rohl's lack of head coaching experience at top clubs and comparisons drawn to Michael Beale, whose tenure at Rangers ended unsuccessfully. Criticism has also been directed at the club's management for a delayed and hesitant hiring process driven by fear of fan reaction, which allowed the situation to worsen before Rohl's arrival. Overall, while Rohl is seen as a highly rated coach with potential, questions remain about whether he can quickly stabilize Rangers in a challenging and high-pressure environment.
