Danny Röhl Appointed Head Coach of Red Bull Salzburg

The RB‑trained 37‑year‑old arrives to revive Salzburg’s title bid and immediately led the club’s first preseason session.

Overview

  • Salzburg confirmed Röhl as head coach on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and presented him the same day before he ran the club’s first training in Taxham.
  • Glasgow Rangers released a formal thank‑you after Röhl left them following an eight‑month spell in charge that ended with a third‑place finish.
  • Media reports place the compensation to Rangers at about €2 million, while published accounts disagree on whether Röhl’s contract runs to 2028 or through summer 2029.
  • Röhl re‑enters the Red Bull coaching network after roles at RB Leipzig, FC Bayern and the German national team and head‑coach jobs at Sheffield Wednesday and Rangers.
  • Salzburg’s sporting director called Röhl a ‘Wunschtrainer’ and the club framed the hire as a move to restore its high‑intensity, attacking identity and win domestic and better international results.
