"It will not be Steven Gerrard. That much became clear late on Saturday, much to the horror of those who were ready to welcome him back to Ibrox. Instead, the next Rangers head coach could be Danny Rohl. The German, who left Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent in the summer, is reported to be the frontrunner, having also held talks with the Scottish Premiership club in the past week."
""Danny was really good, he had a winning mindset from his first meeting," Bannan told BBC Scotland. "He was a young manager so the boys were intrigued to see how he would go about it, but we all left that meeting knowing we had a top, top manger on our hands. He was only young but he came across as highly confident.""
"But given his relative lack of experience of management - never mind Scottish football - is Rohl really the man to turn Rangers around? Or is his profile too similar to that of the departed Russell Martin? One of the major tasks for the next Rangers head coach will be to invigorate and motivate a squad that have flattered to deceive time and time again this season."
Steven Gerrard will not return as Rangers head coach. Danny Rohl is reported to be the frontrunner after holding talks with the club. Rohl, 36, previously served as an assistant at RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and the German national team before managing Sheffield Wednesday, where he twice staved off relegation and finished 12th in the Championship amid financial struggles. Questions remain over Rohl's relative lack of managerial experience and unfamiliarity with Scottish football, and some see parallels with departed Russell Martin. A key task will be to reinvigorate a squad that has repeatedly underperformed, while Rohl's confidence and passion have earned praise from former captain Barry Bannan.
