Rangers Football Club is in the process of considering candidates for its next managerial appointment. Several names have been mentioned, including Danny Rohl, Kevin Muscat, and Slaven Bilic. The leadership at Ibrox appears divided on how to proceed with these options.
Potential Candidates for Rangers’ Managerial Role
- Danny Rohl: The former Sheffield Wednesday manager has emerged as a strong contender. While there is some internal debate, he remains a leading option for the position.
- Kevin Muscat: Currently managing Shanghai Port in the Chinese Super League, Muscat is also considered a viable candidate.
- Slaven Bilic: The ex-Croatia head coach has expressed his readiness for a new challenge and has been linked to the Rangers vacancy.
Other Considerations
It was reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the ex-manager of Manchester United and Cardiff City, had been approached by Rangers. His former teammate, Paul Scholes, shared this information on a football podcast. However, discussions with other high-profile managers, including Graham Potter and Gary O’Neil, have not progressed as both expressed no interest in moving to Ibrox.
The timeline for appointing a new manager is becoming urgent. Rangers are set to play against Dundee United at home on Saturday, making it essential for the club to finalize its decision soon.
Impact of Assistant Changes
Chris Powell, who served as Rohl’s assistant at Sheffield Wednesday, has recently joined Jack Wilshere’s coaching staff at Luton Town. This change may influence Rohl’s candidacy moving forward.
As Rangers navigates these discussions, it is clear that the club is exploring several options to find the best fit for their managerial vacancy. The decision will shape the future direction of the team in the upcoming season.
