The 36-year-old German arrives at Ibrox on a contract running until the summer of 2028, marking a bold new chapter for the Glasgow giants. Röhl becomes one of the youngest permanent managers in the club’s modern history, yet his coaching pedigree is already impressive.
Having built his reputation through high-level roles at RB Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich, and the German national team, Röhl most recently managed Sheffield Wednesday, where he earned plaudits for guiding the team to Championship safety despite a difficult start to the 2023/24 campaign.
Speaking to RangersTV after putting pen to paper, Röhl expressed his pride and determination:
“It’s a great honour to become head coach of Rangers Football Club. I understand the size, the history, and the expectations that come with this position. My focus is on hard work, discipline, and building a team that makes the supporters proud.”
Rangers’ sporting director Kevin Thelwell hailed the appointment as a statement of intent:
“Danny is an outstanding young coach with a clear vision of how the game should be played. His energy, modern approach, and tactical knowledge fit perfectly with what we want to achieve at this football club.”
Röhl is expected to bring a high-intensity, pressing style to Ibrox, inspired by his time under top European coaches. His first task will be to stabilise Rangers’ domestic form and prepare the team for their upcoming European fixture against SK Brann.
The announcement ends weeks of speculation following the collapse of talks with Australian coach Kevin Muscat. Röhl’s arrival signals a new era at Ibrox as the club looks to challenge Celtic and reclaim the Scottish Premiership title.
Rangers supporters will be eager to see Röhl’s early impact, with his debut match in charge set to take place at Ibrox this weekend.
