Rangers manager Danny Rohl to join RB Salzburg with £4 million compensation deal

Rangers have confirmed that manager Danny Rohl will leave Ibrox to become the head coach of Austrian side RB Salzburg. The clubs reached an agreement that awards Rangers £4 million in compensation for the early termination of Rohl’s contract, which runs until 2028. Although Rohl has not publicly pushed for the exit, talks with Salzburg have progressed and an official announcement is expected soon.

With Rohl’s departure imminent, Rangers have begun scouting a replacement. Former Hearts boss Derek McInnes, who previously expressed interest in the role, is reported as the club’s priority target. The club’s hierarchy, including chairman Andrew Cavenagh, emphasized a “Scottish core” recruitment policy, highlighting the importance of domestic talent in any incoming manager’s plans. The developments come amid speculation of an embargo on reporting the move, but the details now appear settled.
