Mikey Moore has revealed his surprise at Danny Rohl's decision to leave Rangers, suggesting the German's exit was likely driven by growing fan criticism.
Rohl had pledged to learn from the mistakes that cost his side last season's title race and received backing from Rangers' American board to continue this campaign. Instead, he opted to join Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg.
Moore on Rohl's Impact at Ibrox
Moore admitted he was taken aback by the departure, saying he believed Rohl was building something at the club. He described the former boss as a really good manager, noting that the new manager is now building on the foundation Rohl left behind.
Reflecting on whether Rohl was hurt by criticism from supporters, Moore said it was possible. He recalled that when Rohl arrived, the club was in a difficult position, and few expected them to be near the top of the table with five games remaining.
Title Push and Disappointing Finish
Moore credited Rohl with getting the team to within a point of Hearts at the split, giving them a shot at the title that nobody thought they had. He acknowledged the ending was disappointing but stressed that the reasons were a mix of factors, not solely the manager's responsibility.
Moore said the decision to leave may have been influenced by the criticism Rohl received, though he admitted he was unsure why the choice was made. He maintained that Rohl did a really good job from the moment he arrived until the moment he left.
