Rangers have narrowed down their search for a new manager to just a couple of final candidates, as reported. The club made it clear that Barry Ferguson will not be the chosen one, as they announced that his stint as interim boss came to an end after the match against Hibs.
Davide Ancelotti’s name has been floating around as a potential contender, with some rumors suggesting he was a front-runner for the position. However, club officials have downplayed these speculations, stating that they are still in the process of making a decision on their next appointment. The Daily Record now states that the search is nearing its conclusion, with only a final “couple” of candidates remaining, and Rangers executives are aiming to finalize an appointment by the end of the week.
Ferguson went through a formal interview for the managerial role last week and believed he had a strong chance of landing the job until he was informed this morning that the club was heading in a different direction. CEO Patrick Stewart expressed gratitude towards Ferguson for taking on the role of head coach in challenging circumstances and achieving commendable results. The search for a new head coach is progressing smoothly, and the club is looking forward to wrapping up the process soon.
Ferguson, in his response, mentioned his gratitude for the opportunity to serve as head coach, highlighting the support he received from his staff and the fans. He acknowledged the ups and downs of his time in charge but expressed his love for the experience. Despite the challenging season, Ferguson appreciated the unwavering support from the team and the fans. He concluded by wishing success to whoever takes on the role of the new manager and expressed his commitment to remaining a loyal supporter and ambassador for the club.
