Rangers Appoint Danny Rohl as Manager on Two-and-a-Half-Year Deal

The 36-year-old takes over after the club’s pursuit of Kevin Muscat fell through.

Overview

  • Rangers confirmed the appointment on Monday, with Rohl set to lead his first game away to SK Brann in the Europa League on Thursday.
  • Talks with Kevin Muscat collapsed over timing and availability, after which Rohl re-entered discussions having previously withdrawn; Steven Gerrard and Sean Dyche had also ruled themselves out.
  • The club and multiple outlets report a two-and-a-half-year contract, though some reports say a deal running to 2028, highlighting a discrepancy in contract length coverage.
  • Rohl’s background includes a spell in charge of Sheffield Wednesday and assistant roles at RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Southampton and with Germany.
  • He inherits a team with one league win and sitting sixth, 13 points off the top, as supporter and media scrutiny of the search process and his fit remains notable.
