Rangers are facing a crucial decision regarding interim manager Barry Ferguson’s future at the club. Ferguson was appointed after Philippe Clement’s sacking and has exceeded expectations, but the prospective new owners, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, might prefer an established manager for next season.
Gretar Steinsson, Leeds United’s technical director, could be involved in the search for a new manager. According to reports, Steinsson has already met with Ferguson in recent weeks, and he’ll likely play a role in appointing the next head coach.
Ferguson’s future at Ibrox seems uncertain, despite his successes, including wins over Jose Mourinho’s Roma and Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic. The club’s disappointing domestic campaign and elimination from the Europa League might lead the new owners to opt for a more experienced manager.
The potential takeover by Cavenagh and the 49ers could bring significant changes to Rangers, including player sales to alleviate financial difficulties. Several key players, including Nico Raskin, are attracting interest from top clubs, and the new ownership might look to capitalize on these assets.
Before any major decisions on player sales or transfers, Rangers will need to appoint a new manager who can shape the squad for the upcoming season. The takeover can’t come soon enough, as there’s a lot of work to be done to get the club back on track.
