37-year-old coach Danny Rohl has confirmed that his move to Red Bull Salzburg in June was the right decision for his career. The manager admitted the offer came as a surprise while he was on holiday, but after careful consideration, he decided it was the correct time to embrace a new challenge.
Rohl emphasized that he was transparent and open with the Rangers board throughout the process, maintaining his respect for the club. However, the opportunity to start fresh in Austria was too significant to ignore. "I want to win titles, and after the season, I will measure myself on this result," Rohl stated.
Everyone who goes to a club like Rangers, it doesn't matter if it's a manager, a player, or a staff member, you have to understand this club is demanding and this creates a lot of pressure. Nobody can prepare for this step. Danny Rohl
Rohl’s primary goals at Salzburg are to reclaim the Austrian Bundesliga title—which the club has failed to win for the past three seasons—and to continue the production of elite young talent. He aims to bring the club back into the spotlight in European football by combining trophy ambitions with player development.
Currently, Rohl is enjoying a more serene lifestyle in Austria compared to the intense football environment of Glasgow. This newfound perspective allows him to focus entirely on his tactical work and team preparation without the constant media intensity.
