'This is the right one' - Rohl on leaving Rangers for Salzburg

Danny Rohl, the 37-year-old manager, has decided to leave Rangers to join Red Bull Salzburg in June. Rohl, who spent eight months at Rangers, nearly orchestrated a remarkable turnaround during a chaotic season, taking the team from sixth to title contention before a series of defeats left them third. After his decision, Rangers replaced him with Derek McInnes, who has struggled to win his first four games of the season.

Rohl, speaking from his new base in Salzburg, emphasizes the importance of consistency and the demanding nature of the club. He highlights the need to view the move as a fresh start and focus on winning titles and developing young talent. Rohl's decision to make the move reflects his history of bold career choices, including his miraculous turnaround at Sheffield Wednesday in the 2023-24 season.

The Salzburg manager, who joined the club after a stint at RB Leipzig and Southampton, is focused on ensuring success both on and off the pitch.

Could BTS boycott impact?…Grammy suggests possibility of re-examining ‘Asian Pop category’ The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, which will be held on March 14, has sparked controversy over the newly established ‘Best Asian Pop’ category, with some critics accusing the Recording Academy of ‘othering’ Asian music. The Recording Academy responded to the criticism by mentioning the possibility of re-examining the Asian music category. On the 8th, the Recording Academy’s CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., told the Associated Press that they are open to reviewing the new category. Mason said, “We are always open to hearing feedback and reviewing what we do…We are open to evolving and changing and making adjustments.” The criticism over the new category comes after BTS’s management agency, HYBE, announced on the 28th of last month that they would not be participating in the Grammy Awards due to the new category. BTS’s management agency, HYBE, said, “The establishment of a separate category for Asian pop music…may be perceived as a discriminatory act that divides and excludes rather than a way to celebrate diversity.” The Recording Academy announced on the 30th of last month that they would be introducing a new category, ‘Best Asian Pop’, from this year. The move was made in response to the growing popularity of Asian music worldwide, with K-pop groups such as BTS and Blackpink achieving global success. However, some critics have argued that the new category could be seen as ‘ghettoizing’ Asian music. In response to the criticism, Mason said, “We have always tried to be inclusive…We are always looking for ways to be more inclusive.” The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards will be held on March 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
