Rangers‘ search for a new head coach has intensified following Steven Gerrard‘s decision against a return to Ibrox, with danny Rohl emerging as the current frontrunner. The former Sheffield Wednesday manager has reportedly held positive talks with Rangers officials and is now considered a leading contender for the position.
The managerial vacancy arose after Michael beale’s dismissal in October and a subsequent approach to Gerrard proved unsuccessful. This has prompted Rangers to broaden thier search, evaluating several candidates including Rohl, Gary O’Neil, and Graham Potter. The appointment is critical for the club’s ambitions to maintain its competitive edge in the Scottish Premiership and progress in European competitions.
Multiple reports indicate Rohl has impressed senior figures at Rangers during preliminary discussions. TalkSport and Rangers Review both confirmed Rohl’s talks with the club,while The Scottish Sun On Sunday suggests he would look to add a former Rangers player to his backroom staff to connect with the fanbase.
Beyond Rohl, the club has also sounded out former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O’Neil and ex-Chelsea and West Ham United manager Graham Potter, according to the Daily Record. Other names linked with the position, though less prominently featured in recent reports, include Sean dyche.
Speculation also surrounds potential backroom staff appointments should Rohl be appointed. Sources suggest consideration is being given to bringing in former Rangers players to assist. Further names circulating in connection with potential roles include Charlie Adam, Billy Dodds, Peter Schmeichel, Neil Gunn, and Rhoys Aarons, though their involvement remains unconfirmed.
