Danny Rohl Shares Hansi Flick’s ‘Good Luck’ Message Amid Rangers and Barcelona Connection
Barcelona’s head coach, Hansi Flick, recently extended his good wishes to Danny Rohl, the newly appointed manager of Rangers Football Club. Rohl’s appointment comes during a challenging time for Rangers, who currently sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership with just one victory this season.
Rangers’ Current Struggles
The club’s early performance has been concerning, as they have failed to earn any points in the Europa League after two matches. Furthermore, the situation off the pitch has added to the unrest, with fans protesting against CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell.
- Position: 6th in the Scottish Premiership
- League Wins: 1
- Europa League Points: 0 from 2 matches
Rohl’s Connection to Hansi Flick
Danny Rohl has a strong relationship with Hansi Flick, having worked as an assistant under him at both the German national team and Bayern Munich. Their collaboration resulted in seven trophies, including the prestigious UEFA Champions League.
Rohl values Flick’s mentorship and guidance. He shared that they frequently communicate and that Flick sent him a supportive message congratulating him on his new role. “It’s always great to have such a message from such an experienced coach,” Rohl stated.
Backroom Staff and Team Strategy
As Rohl settles into his new position, he is in the process of finalizing his backroom staff. He mentioned that a former Rangers player could join him, which could help bridge a vital connection with the club’s culture and fanbase.
- Two assistants from Germany expected to join
- One former Rangers player likely to be part of the team
Expectation Management at Ibrox
Rohl is aware of the high expectations associated with coaching Rangers. He emphasized the need for victories to instill confidence in the team and the support of fans. “We need wins, because with every win, self-confidence goes higher up,” he remarked.
Understanding the significant demands at Ibrox, Rohl is focused on turning the club’s fortunes around. He recognizes that anything less than a win will not meet the club’s ambitions and goals.
Future Plans and Transfer Control
Questions have arisen regarding Rangers’ recruitment strategy after a £34 million investment in new players over the summer. Rohl will collaborate closely with the sporting director to ensure that any signings align with his tactical vision.
Chairman Andrew Cavenagh assured that Rohl will have significant input in the recruitment process moving forward, creating a unified approach to building the squad. “It will never be a one-man show,” Cavenagh stated, underscoring the importance of collaboration.
With Rohl determined to restore confidence and success at Rangers, all eyes will be on him to deliver results amid the early-season turmoil.
