Danny Rohl has officially been unveiled as Rangers’ new Head Coach joining on a tw0-and-a-half-year deal.
It was a lengthy process the Light Blues had gone through to find a replacement for Russell Martin but they have finally got their man in Rohl, who withdrew himself from the process last week.
Over the weekend, talks broke down between the Gers board and Kevin Muscat, which led to the German coming back into the frame.
The 36-year-old’s only managerial job role in the game was with Sheffield Wednesday, where he was able to keep them in the English Championship under extremely difficult financial circumstances.
Rohl has worked with Ralph Hasenhuttl at Southampton and Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich and was his number two for the Germany national team.
The Zwickau-born coach addressed the Scottish media for the first time today and believes winning games is the most important thing at the Gers before thinking about playing attractive football:
“I’m really looking forward to being part of this amazing football club. We want to win, we need wins because we want to turn around the position at the moment.
“I am looking for an ambitious club, a club that is wanting more. This club has everything for all these goals.
“My job is clear. My focus is on my person, what I can bring to this football club. We want to create chances, we want to create goals. We want to defence as a team.
“We have to win games then we can speak about playing attractive football.”
Rohl says that there is huge potential in the squad and it doesn’t phase him if he was first, second or third choice for the Ibrox club, only thing that matters to him is that he’s here now:
“We need wins in a row. I see so much potential.
“If you can bring the squad together with your style of football then you will go in a fantastic direction.
“You can be the first, the second or the third choice. The important thing is to win games. I cannot tell you which choice I am. I am here.
“I’m very well prepared over the last 16 years to be here now. I really enjoy to have such supporters behind you.
“In this business, you have not too much time. Pressure in the business is usual.
“I look from game to game now, to prepare the team, to pick the right players. I need all the players.
“I’m looking forward to the future.”
Rohl’s first game in charge is in the Europa League away from home against Brann as the Govan club look try and get their European campaign back on track.
