Rangers have confirmed that head coach Danny Rohl has left Ibrox to take charge of Salzburg, ending a tenure of less than a full season in Glasgow. Hearts manager Derek McInnes is widely tipped to step in, with the club expected to appoint a third permanent boss within a year.

Rangers turned to Rohl in October 2025 after a poor start under Russell Martin, who oversaw only 17 competitive matches. Rohl collected 22 wins from 40 games and pulled Rangers into the Scottish Premiership title race, yet a late slump dropped the team to third place and left pressure on the role.

The decisive collapse came with four consecutive defeats across late April and early May, which effectively ended Rangers’ challenge. Celtic finished 10 points clear as champions and secured the title on the final day, beating Hearts to stay ahead, while the Gers watched their revival fade during the closing weeks.

Rohl has agreed a three-year contract with Salzburg and will try to lead the club back to the Austrian Bundesliga crown after a three-season wait. The German previously worked there as assistant to Ralph Hasenhuttl, then joined Hansi Flick’s staff at Bayern Munich and the Germany national team, before taking the Sheffield Wednesday job in 2023.
