Danny Rohl Appointed as Rangers' New Head Coach in Bold Move

October 21, 2025 – Rangers Football Club has officially appointed 36-year-old German coach Danny Rohl as the new men’s first-team head coach, signing him to a two-and-a-half-year contract. The announcement follows a turbulent managerial search after the dismissal of Russell Martin on October 5, prompted by a disappointing start to the 2025-26 Scottish Premiership season. Rohl arrived in Glasgow on October 20 to finalize the deal, marking the end of a two-week process that saw negotiations with other candidates, including Kevin Muscat and Steven Gerrard, collapse.

Rohl brings a wealth of tactical expertise, having guided Sheffield Wednesday to Championship survival in 2023-24 with his high-pressing, dynamic style. His coaching pedigree includes stints at Bayern Munich, where he was part of the treble-winning staff, and RB Leipzig under Ralf Rangnick. Rangers, with a storied history of 56 domestic titles, hope Rohl’s innovative approach will revive their fortunes, especially ahead of Thursday’s UEFA Europa League clash with SK Brann.

Club officials have praised his vision for success across multiple competitions, viewing his appointment as a strategic step to close the gap with rivals Celtic and restore Ibrox to its former glory.
