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

Danny Rohl, 37, has announced his move from Rangers to Red Bull Salzburg in June. The former Sheffield Wednesday manager discusses his decision to leave the Glasgow club and join Salzburg, a team he sees as an opportunity to restart his career. Rohl's tenure at Rangers saw him take over a struggling team and nearly guide them to title contention, but four losses in their final five games left them third in the SPL.

Rohl was given the opportunity to discuss his future with both Rangers and Salzburg while on holiday in Hawaii, and he ultimately decided to move to Salzburg, impressed by the club's potential and the support of sporting director Marcus Mann. Rohl emphasizes the importance of consistency and the challenging environment of football, acknowledging that no one can prepare for the pressure of managing a club like Salzburg, which has not won the Austrian Bundesliga in three seasons.

Despite the pressure, Rohl is focused on winning titles and developing young players, aiming to bring Salzburg back into the light in European football.

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.
