Danny Rohl on Bayer Leverkusen shortlist amid growing Bundesliga interest

Danny Rohl has found his name back at the centre of another major European coaching conversation.

Reports from Germany are suggesting he has been placed on the shortlist for a potential summer appointment at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

According to journalist Dominik Schneider of FussballTransfers, the Rangers head coach is one of several profiles being assessed by the Bundesliga club as they weigh up long-term options amid uncertainty over Kasper Hjulmand’s future.

Danny Rohl on Leverkusen radar

With former Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler no longer available.

Leverkusen are broadening their search and Rohl’s stock in Germany remains high despite recent struggles at Ibrox.

He has previously assisted managers at both Bayern Munich and the German national team.

The interest is not isolated.

Rohl has also been repeatedly linked with a move to VfL Wolfsburg in recent weeks.

Their own managerial instability and ongoing restructuring following relegation have kept him on their radar, reinforcing his standing in Bundesliga circles.

This speculation inevitably adds another layer of external noise around a coach already under scrutiny after a volatile end to the domestic campaign.

Rohl initially stabilised performances at Ibrox after a horrific start under Russell Martin.

However, recent inconsistencies and key defeats have intensified debate over identity and tactical clarity.

Leverkusen’s consideration does not yet indicate an advanced approach, but it adds to the speculation around his future in Scotland.

Rohl is being tracked at the top level of German football, despite his perceived failure at Rangers.

For now, preparing for the new season at Ibrox remains his focus, but the Bundesliga attention is not going away.
