Decision Revisited After Initial Rejection
Röhl previously turned down the managerial opportunity last Wednesday, with his main concern being insufficient time to ready the squad for their home league clash against Dundee United, which concluded 2:2. However, the Rangers board renewed their interest on Sunday, presenting another offer that Röhl ultimately accepted.
Current Club Situation and Recent Form
Rangers have experienced a disappointing start to the season, finding themselves in sixth position on just 9 points, a full 13 points behind Hearts who top the Scottish table. Röhl takes over from Russell Martin, who was relieved of his duties as a result of the team’s underperformance.
Managerial Background
Before agreeing to join Rangers, Röhl was last at the helm of Sheffield Wednesday, having left that post in July.
