Danny Rohl Nearing Appointment as Rangers Head Coach at Ibrox
Rangers Football Club is nearing the appointment of Danny Rohl as their new head coach. This decision follows a recent setback with Kevin Muscat, whose potential deal to manage the club collapsed during final negotiations. Rohl, a German coach, was previously linked with the position at Ibrox before the focus shifted to Muscat.
Coaching Changes at Rangers
The club is actively seeking a successor for Russell Martin, who was dismissed on October 5 after a disappointing start to the season. Martin’s tenure lasted only 17 games, during which Rangers found themselves in eighth place in the Scottish Premiership, trailing nine points behind champions Celtic and two more behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.
Current Standings and Challenges
- Rangers currently sit sixth in the league.
- They have secured only one win in their last eight matches.
- The team is 13 points behind Derek McInnes’s side.
Under Martin, Rangers faced challenges, including failure to qualify for the Champions League and poor performances in the Europa League, losing both group stage matches. The team now prepares to face Brann in the Europa League on Thursday at 17:45 BST.
Negotiations with Candidates
While Rohl emerges as a candidate, Rangers have stated that discussions continue with several other potential coaches. The urgency for a new head coach is palpable, as the club aims to turn its season around and improve its standing in the league.
As the situation develops, Rangers fans will be keenly watching for the announcement of their new head coach and the direction the team will take under fresh leadership.
