Danny Rohl is reportedly in talks to quit Rangers and take up the reins at RB Salzburg. The German coach succeeded Russell Martin at Ibrox back in October and steered Gers back into a title race, only for their championship challenge to fall apart in the final few weeks of the season.
Rangers' Season Ends in Disappointment
The Light Blues ended up finishing 10 points adrift of champions Celtic, who also knocked them out on penalties in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup. Sections of the fanbase have been calling for the 37-year-old to be given the boot, but Rohl—who was linked with the vacancy at relegated Bundesliga club Wolfsburg—has been publicly backed to remain in the post by chairman Andrew Cavenagh.
Red Bull Makes Its Move
However, it's now claimed that talks are ongoing between the two clubs to take the former Sheffield Wednesday boss to Austria. Reports in Germany state that Salzburg are pushing hard to get a deal for the Rangers manager over the line. Rohl is already well known to the Red Bull football group, having served as Ralph Hasenhuttl's number two at RB Leipzig, later following him to the English Premier League with Southampton.
Rohl's Coaching Background
Prior to launching his own managerial career with the Owls in 2023, Rohl also worked alongside Hansi Flick at both Bayern Munich and the German national team. His experience within the Red Bull network makes him a prime candidate for the Salzburg role.
