Danny Rohl makes Sheffield Wednesday comparison and Dejphon Chansiri point as he lifts lid on Rangers life
Danny Rohl has lifted the lid on life at Rangers - and described it as a “different environment” to the one he experienced at Sheffield Wednesday.
The 36-year-old was at the Hillsborough helm for just under two years, seeing his spell blighted by off-field turbulence.
He managed to send his stock soaring against the backdrop of chaos, eventually landing the Rangers gig after leaving South Yorkshire in the summer.
Rohl has been tasked with reviving the Gers after their dismal start to the Scottish Premiership campaign under Russell Martin and is enjoying life north of the border.
He has spoken of a “great connection and relationship” between himself and the hierarchy, something he did not have in S6 with the since-removed Dejphon Chansiri.
Danny Rohl opens up
As reported by the Press Association, he said: “I must say, so far, we have a great connection and relationship. We always talk after games and this is good. I must say, I missed this type of relationship for the last two years.
“All in all, all the people around me are trying to support me and they help me in different parts of this job. It allows me to focus on the aspects that are my responsibility.
“In my last job it was a different environment. At that time, it was just the owner and me. From recruitment, to match prep, to looking for pre-season camps, these were things I had to look at by myself.
“There were a lot of good people at the club, people who are still at the club. But now I have more people around me and this is important.”
Challenge ahead at Rangers
Not only does Rohl face the challenge of pushing Rangers up the Scottish Premiership table, he must also try to restore some pride in the Europa League. As it stands, the Gers sit bottom of the competition’s 36-team table.
He said: “The next one is always the most important one and of course in this competition right now we have zero points.
“So we need to start picking some up as soon as possible. But of course we are facing an opponent who is strong in their league.
“We’ve also seen, though, parts of the game that we have to better if we’re to hurt them and it’s important to understand the need to be brave and thinking forward.
“There will be moments tomorrow that are 50-50. If you win duels, if you attack in the right spaces then we have a chance. If not it could go in the other direction. This is the balance we have to understand.”
