Rangers Football Club is on the verge of appointing Danny Rohl as their new head coach. This decision comes less than a week after Rohl initially withdrew from consideration for the position. The development follows the collapse of a deal to hire Kevin Muscat, which had progressed to advanced discussions.
Danny Rohl’s Potential Role at Ibrox
Rohl, who previously managed Sheffield Wednesday in the English Championship, has regained favor among Rangers’ decision-makers. The club had been considering multiple candidates as they seek to fill the vacancy left by Russell Martin.
Recent Coaching Changes
- Russell Martin was sacked on October 5 after overseeing 17 games.
- At the time of his dismissal, Rangers were positioned eighth in the league.
- The team trailed behind champions Celtic by nine points and were two points adrift of leaders Heart of Midlothian.
Rangers’ performance under Martin was disappointing. The team failed to qualify for the prestigious Champions League. Moreover, they suffered defeats in both of their Europa League matches.
Current Standings and Upcoming Matches
Currently, Rangers sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership. They have managed just one victory in their last eight games and are 13 points behind the team managed by Derek McInnes. The club is set to face Brann in the Europa League this Thursday at 17:45 BST.
Negotiations are ongoing as Rangers aim to finalize the appointment of Danny Rohl, signaling a new direction in their pursuit of success in both domestic and European competitions.
