Danny Rohl has explained his decision to move to RB Salzburg after his Rangers exit was confirmed.
After around a week of talks after initial contact was made by the Austrians, the move was finally rubberstamped this morning, with staff members Sascha Lense and Tristan Steiner following him out the door.
Rohl took his new side's training for the first time this morning and has also been reacting to his move on their website.
Having worked for RB Leipzig before, he cited his familiarity with the Red Bull group as one factor. Another was Salzburg's identity of "courageous, intense, and attacking football" aligning with his own.

Rohl said: "I'm incredibly excited about my new role at FC Red Bull Salzburg. I'm already familiar with the club from my previous coaching experience and know what opportunities exist here, the quality within the club, and the ambitious aims they pursue. That's precisely what attracted me.
"Salzburg stands for courageous, intense, and attacking football – a style of football I strongly identify with and which also aligns with my own vision of the game. Together, we want to develop a team that plays with energy, determination and with a clear style of play.
"Our aim has to be to bring titles back to Salzburg and to represent the club successfully on the European stage. We will work hard every day to achieve this.
"The immediate priority is to get to know the players and everyone involved quickly, build close relationships, and prepare the team as best as possible for the challenges ahead. We have some exciting tasks ahead of us, and I look forward to embarking on this journey together."
