Rangers have officially announced the departure of head coach Danny Rohl to Red Bull Salzburg “by mutual agreement.” The 37-year-old German, who took over from Russell Martin last October, will now lead the Austrian Bundesliga team following a seven-figure compensation package agreed upon by both clubs.

In addition to Rohl, performance manager Sascha Lense and first-team analyst Tristan Steiner will also be leaving Ibrox.

Chairman Andrew Cavenagh expressed gratitude on Rangers’ website, stating:
“I’d like to thank Danny for his service and commitment to Rangers. He and his staff put in a significant amount of hard work during his time in charge, which we are greatly appreciative of. We wish them the best of luck moving forward.”

Rohl had made an encouraging start to his tenure, guiding Rangers into title contention after inheriting a struggling squad. However, his position became precarious in the season's closing weeks as the team suffered four consecutive defeats, ultimately finishing a distant third.

Despite publicly backing Rohl last month to lead Rangers into the new season, the Ibrox hierarchy did not impede his move when Salzburg expressed interest. Derek McInnes, currently the boss at Hearts, is expected to take over the managerial role at Rangers, with further updates on the vacancy to be announced soon.
