Since Michael Beale was recently fired, Rangers have been without a manager. Beale struggled to get things moving at Ibrox and the Gers were forced to let him go after the team lost in the Scottish Premiership and exited the Champions League. The Gers have been associated with a lot of names while the search for a new manager is now underway.
Any ideas of a title return may be restricted, nevertheless, since Celtic is already in the lead and on track to win three crowns in a row in Scotland’s premier division. However, Rangers must still make sure the following appointment is accurate. And with that said, reports indicate that they may have talked to one particular candidate for the position.
AK Alkmaar’s current manager, Jansen, has impressed many this year. His team has won 77% of their games as of this writing, and they are now ranked as high as second. Graeme Bailey of 90Min said the following about the Dutchman in regards to his time at the club:
In preparation for their Europa Conference League semifinal second leg against West Ham, I spoke with AZ manager Pascal Jansen this week. A genuinely fascinating and captivating individual who was born in England and would love the opportunity to manage in the Premier League.
With Jansen’s hiring, Rangers’ players might not even need to change their formation because the Alkmaar manager’s favoured setup is a defensive 4-3-3. It’s obvious that this strategy might work wonders for giving the Gers’ backline some solidity, especially given that Alkmaar have only allowed three goals in the league this season.
That is not to suggest that Jansen does not make the most of his attack, as his current team has scored a lot of goals in seven league games this season. The truth is that everything is pointing towards a manager who is prepared to turn around Rangers’ floundering team and return them to greatness, so keep an eye out for his name.
Midweek, Glasgow Rangers lost 2-1 against Aris Limassol in the Europa League, marking their second straight loss.
It was the end of one of the worst weeks in the team’s recent history, which began with a loss to Aberdeen the previous weekend and ended with Michael Beale’s dismissal as manager on Sunday night.
For the European encounter and the following game against St. Mirren, Steven Davis was appointed interim manager. However, even he was unable to motivate this team of players, who genuinely appear to be lost.
The Paisley team is presently second in the Premiership, three points ahead of the Light Blues. If the players put on another terrible performance like they did against the Cypriot team, it will be yet another loss.
