Danny Rohl: Rangers boss leaves for Red Bull Salzburg


Rohl’s Rangers record across all competitions stands at 22 wins, 11 losses and seven draws in 40 fixtures.

Having initially withdrawn from the running to replace Russell Martin, he had a change of heart and took the job after the club were unable to secure Steven Gerrard or Kevin Muscat.

The German revived Rangers’ fortunes following an abject start to the season, turning the team from mid-table stragglers to title contenders.

However, Rangers wilted post-split, as a run of four straight defeats in their final five games wrecked their hopes of a first Premiership crown in five years.

Being eliminated from both domestic cups by Old Firm rivals Celtic further heightened fans’ frustrations and turned up the pressure on Rohl.

However, Cavenagh – whose American consortium took control a year ago – moved to quell speculation over the head coach’s future last month amid reported interest from Wolfsburg and vowed Rohl would oversee a “summer of substantial change”.

Rohl was given funds to bring in four players in January and Scotland striker Lawrence Shankland has already been lured from Hearts as a squad reshape beckoned in his first summer at the helm.

However, that will now fall to a new manager, with little time to waste in Rangers’ recruitment process as the squad are scheduled to return to training this week.
