Rangers are buzzing with news as they continue their search for a new manager following the sacking of Russell Martin. One of the top contenders is Danny Rohl, the German coach who previously led Sheffield Wednesday. Rohl’s potential appointment has generated significant interest, with reports indicating Rangers’ hierarchy is impressed by his credentials ¹.

 

Danny Rohl’s Profile

 

Danny Rohl, 36, has a strong tactical acumen honed from working under Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.

Release Clause Complication
