Rangers Football Club head coach Danny Röhl denied reports linking him to a managerial position with Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg [1].
These rumors surfaced following a defeat to Hearts, creating uncertainty regarding Röhl's commitment to the club ahead of one of the most high-stakes matches in Scottish football. Stability in the coaching staff is critical as the team prepares for the Old Firm derby.
Speaking after the loss to Hearts, Röhl addressed the speculation regarding his future and his ongoing discussions with the Rangers board [1]. He said he wanted to clarify his position at the club to dispel suggestions that he was seeking a move back to Germany.

Röhl said he is committed to his current role and the objectives set by the board [1]. The head coach said the priority is the upcoming derby rather than external interests in his career [1].
