AI Summary

Rangers Football Club has officially completed a deal for Danny Röhl to join RB Salzburg, marking a significant shift in their coaching staff. The 37-year-old Röhl's departure comes even after he expressed his commitment to the summer rebuilding efforts at Ibrox.

Last season, Rangers faced challenges, finishing third in the Scottish Premiership and suffering defeats to Celtic in both the League Cup semi-finals and the Scottish Cup quarter-finals.

Röhl took over from Russell Martin in October and had two years remaining on his contract. Although he received assurances regarding his future, the club's management has been reassessing their coaching options since May.

This change leaves Rangers in search of their sixth permanent head coach since Steven Gerrard, the last manager to secure a Premiership title for the club, left in November 2021.

As the club navigates this transition, they are finalizing a deal for Derek McInnes to take over as head coach, reportedly agreeing to a three-year contract. Both Rangers and Hearts are working to conclude this arrangement.

In the midst of these changes, Rangers have initiated their summer rebuild. Key figures such as new CEO Jim Gillespie, executive director Fraser Thornton, technical director Dan Purdy, and consultant Stig Inge Bjørnebye are collaborating with the coaching team to enhance the squad.

The first confirmed signing of this rebuilding phase is Lawrence Shankland, who joined from Hearts on a two-year deal with an option for an additional year, following a successful season where he netted 20 goals across all competitions.
