Rangers are still on the lookout for their next permanent manager and a new update from journalist Keith Jackson has shed further light on the matter.
Rangers continue search for permanent manager
A host of names continue to be mentioned as options to take charge at Ibrox at the end of the season, assuming Barry Ferguson only remains in an interim role until then.
Rafa Benitez is perhaps the most high profile name linked with the gig, with the former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager thought to be keen on taking the role, having not had a club since being at Celta Vigo last season. He is a proven winner, having won the Champions League during his time at Anfield, and would represent a high-profile appointment.
Meanwhile, Gers legend Ally McCoist has had his say on the potential of Steven Gerrard returning to the Scottish giants, saying: “The other one I’ve heard is Steven Gerrard coming back. He’s out of work, but I’m not sure what his current situation is. I think one of the slight problems might be would be him having to stay out of the country for tax reasons.”
There have also been some faint whispers regarding Jose Mourinho and the possibility that Ferguson could be given the job, depending on how he fares in the coming weeks, having recently come in as Philippe Clement’s replacement. Now, a new update has dropped regarding the former Rangers captain.
Cavenagh impressed by what he’s seen from Ferguson at Rangers
According to The Daily Record‘s Jackson, takeover partner Andrew Cavenagh may see Ferguson as the future permanent Rangers manager, with the 47-year-old said to be “absolutely bursting” to take the job full-time. The health insurance tycoon was present for last week’s 3-1 win away to Fenerbahce in the Europa League, with the report saying that him watching on may have “given the incoming consortium a serious curve ball on which to ponder”.
