Red Bull Salzburg in talks to sign Rangers manager Danny Rohl
Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg have opened club-to-club negotiations to appoint Rangers manager Danny Rohl following the conclusion of the Scottish Premiership season.
The approach comes after a turbulent end to the domestic campaign for the Ibrox outfit.
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that the Austrian heavyweights are pushing hard to secure his services.
The 37-year-old was previously expected to remain in Glasgow and manage a full upcoming season.
Late-season collapse
Rangers endured a disastrous end to their domestic schedule.
The Glasgow giants lost four of their final five league games following the Scottish Premiership split.
That dramatic slump saw them fall from serious title contenders to comfortably finishing third.
They ultimately ended the campaign behind arch-rivals and champions Celtic, as well as second-placed Hearts.
Significant early improvement
Prior to the late-season collapse, the Scottish club had suffered just two league defeats all year.
The German tactician had overseen a significant improvement in performances compared to his predecessor Russell Martin.
Mounting pressure over the final month had raised questions, but a summer departure remained unanticipated.
An agreement between the two clubs would force Rangers to begin an unexpected managerial search ahead of the new campaign.
