Danny Rohl remains convinced leaving RB Salzburg for Rangers was the correct decision.
The German was preparing for another season at Ibrox, after initially bringing about an improvement in the team early in his tenure, before falling away badly at the end of the season.
But when the interest from the Austrian side came, it was a move he wanted to make. Rangers chiefs have since claimed they were happy to let Rohl depart to clear the way to bring Derek McInnes in.
Rohl admits people were asking him if he was sure it as the right decision, but having started work in Salzburg his belief has been sharpened.
"Some people were asking why but I felt this is the right one now. I can confirm, it's a good move," he told BBC Sport .

"I was not prepared for this change in the summer. I was in Hawaii, the time difference was 12 hours and I was often on the main deck on the cruise around five or six in the morning. I had some calls and I thought about the situation.
"I have all these situations in my mind. I saw the beautiful sea, I saw the sun and then you think: 'OK, what is the future?'
"I spoke, of course, with Rangers. I was really transparent and open on how I feel, how I see it. On the other side there was Red Bull Salzburg, especially Marcus [Mann, sporting director] - he really gave me the feeling of what we can do here.

"I said from the first day to both, if there's no agreement then we carry on, we move on because I have big respect to Rangers. It was also clear, our story was not finished.
"I saw a lot of opportunities, what we can do in the summer, what we should do but on the other side, I saw also a good opportunity to restart, to start from zero with a group of players with high quality."
