Sascha Lense and Matthias Kaltenbach revealed as part of Danny Rohl’s Rangers coaching staff | OneFootball

Danny Rohl will start his reign as Rangers manager when the Ibrox club travel to face Norwegian club Brann in the Europa League on Thursday.

The German was appointed as the new Rangers head coach on Monday and he has started work with the team.

Rohl confirmed the make-up of his backroom team yesterday without naming their names, and Sky Sports cameras have captured two new faces assisting him while the Light Blues trained today.

Sascha Lense and Matthias Kaltenbach have been spotted at the Rangers training centre after the new boss revealed that he would appoint two assistant coaches from Germany.

Lense worked as a sports psychologist under interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick in December 2021 before taking up the same role at Schalke, Dynamo Dresden and RB Leipzig.

The 50-year-old worked with Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday as performance manager before leaving with him in the summer.

40-year-old Kaltenbach worked under Alfred Schreuder at Ajax as assistant manager in 2022-23 and was assistant to Julian Nagelsmann during his time at Hoffenheim.

Rohl claimed he will have an assistant coach off the pitch and an assistant coach on the pitch, and it appears Lense will assist him off the pitch while Kaltenbach will be beside him in the dugout.

Rangers goalkeeping coach Sal Bibbo, who was appointed by Russell Martin, will remain in his place having been Rohl’s goalkeeping coach at Sheffield Wednesday.

The German plans to add a former Rangers player to his coaching staff but the identity of whom he has chosen remains unknown.

A win in Norway tomorrow will be a great start for Rohl as he looks to hit the ground running, and fans will be looking forward to the home game against Kilmarnock on Sunday when Scottish Premiership action resumes.
