Rangers have appointed Danny Rohl as their new head coach.<\/p>\n

The former Sheffield Wednesday boss replaces Russell Martin who was sacked two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Rohl was confirmed by the Ibrox side on Monday and he has signed a deal until the summer of 2028.<\/p>\n

Rangers will also bring in a coach with connections to the club to work alongside Rohl.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old started has been part of the coaching staff at RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Southampton, as well as a spell as assistant manager of the Germany national team.<\/p>\n

He was handed his first management role at Sheffield Wednesday on October 2023, helping them to avoid relegation from the English Championship before finishing 12th in his first full season.<\/p>\n

However, he lasted just under two years at Hillsborough and departed this summer amid financial upheaval.<\/p>\n

He has now been tasked with turning the season around for Rangers, who are currently sixth in the Premiership after just one win from their first eight league games.<\/p>\n

His first game in the dugout will be Thursday night\u2019s Europa League game against SK Brann in Norway.<\/p>\n

Rohl says there is \u201cno time to waste\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt is a huge privilege to be taking on the role of Head Coach at such an incredible club, recognised around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it has been a difficult start to the season, but there is still so much to play for in four competitions, and my staff and I will give it everything to reward the supporters and the club.<\/p>\n

The expectations here are clear. The fans want to see results now \u2013 my mentality and experience is to think in exactly the same way and I have belief in the players that we can achieve this.
\u201cWe have no time to waste, we start straight away. I respect that trust is earned and understand we have to give the supporters confidence in what we are doing by showing it on the pitch from the start.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expectations are huge and I love this challenge because I set high standards for myself and the team too.<\/p>\n

Rangers is built on a tradition of hard work, unity and success \u2013 that is exactly what you will get from me and what I want my team to represent for all of you.
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to meeting the squad and getting down to work ahead of Thursday\u2019s game away to Brann.\u201d<\/p>\n
