"One thing emerged loud and clear from Rohl's first appearance in front of the Scottish media - he knows he needs to win matches, and win them quickly. His predecessor Martin lasted only 17 matches and 123 days in charge, so I wondered what kind of timeframe the new man thinks is reasonable for him to turn around the tanker Martin once famously referred to."
"While deftly avoiding a direct answer that might bring pressure further down the line, Rohl's message was pretty clear. "Hopefully as soon as possible," he said. "This is crucial. "In this business you have not so much time. You can speak about the long-term vision but we know it's about the short-term and the short-term is about winning games. This is what I demand."
Danny Rohl held his first press conference as Rangers head coach at Ibrox, flanked by chairman Andrew Cavenagh, sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart. Rohl emphasized an urgent need to win matches quickly, stressing that short-term results take precedence even within a long-term vision. He demanded players understand the style of play and summarized his priorities as: winning, attractive football and togetherness. Russell Martin's chaotic 123-day, 17-match spell and the increasingly toxic matchday protests in Glasgow were noted as context for the pressure surrounding the role. Rohl is Rangers' youngest ever head coach.
