Chris Jack lauds Rohl’s managerial ability amid Ibrox links

Chris Jack admitted that he did not know more about Gers’ reported interest in the 36-year-old.

However, he was complimentary of his managerial pedigree and labelled the links as “interesting”.

The Rangers Review journalist does expect more names to be in the conversation for the job as well.

He said at 4:35: “He’s clearly a guy who is a real student of the game. You don’t get to be a manager even at that level in English second tier at 36 if you’ve not really thrown yourself into that particular path from a from a yearly age. So it’s interesting that this is the next name that’s doing the rounds. I’m sure there will be many.”

Rangers should pursue Rafa Benitez instead

Gers should avoid hiring Rohl and instead pursue a seasoned manager like Rafa Benitez due to the club’s need for proven leadership to navigate their current challenges.

The German is relatively untested at the elite level, with his success at Sheffield Wednesday confined to Championship survival and mid-table stability.

His openness to leaving for bigger opportunities, like the Bundesliga, suggests a lack of long-term commitment, which Rangers cannot afford amid their six-game winless streak and financial constraints.

Rafa Benitez has a track record for winning trophies

The Ibrox outfit require a manager with experience in high-pressure environments, capable of delivering immediate results and managing a squad with limited resources.

Benitez, with his track record at Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle, brings tactical acumen, trophy-winning pedigree, and expertise in rebuilding under financial duress.

His ability to instil discipline and maximise squad potential aligns with Rangers’ need to close the gap on Celtic and stabilise post-Clement.

The German’s youth and progressive style are appealing but risky for a club needing instant impact.

On the other hand, the Spaniard’s pragmatic approach and European experience would better position Rangers to compete domestically and in Europe, ensuring stability and progress under potential new ownership.
