According to insiders who spoke with Football Insider, Rangers are not anticipated to make any management changes until a new chairman takes office.
During the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior writer Pete O’Rourke disclosed that when there is no one at the top managing the team, “it’s hard to make those big decisions.”
It was announced on Monday (16 September) that John Bennett was stepping down as Chairman with immediate effect due to health reasons, leaving the club without a Chairman.
Former Chairman Dave King has been linked with a return to Ibrox, which could raise questions over Clemet’s future if the 69-year-old doesn’t view him as the man to run the team.
King left his role as Chairman in 2020, but he was in charge when the club stopped Celtic from winning 10 titles in a row under Steven Gerrard.
Rangers currently trail Celtic by five points in the Scottish Premiership, while they also failed to qualify for the Champions League in what has been a tumultuous start to the season.
Rangers bringing back Dave King could lead to rumours about
Philippe Clement’s future
King had a successful working relationship with Steven Gerrard during his time in charge of the Scottish giants, and there will be rumours of him returning if King steps back into his former role.
Gerrard led the Gers to an undefeated 2020-21 campaign which saw the club win the Scottish Premiership, but a return could be difficult.
Football Insider has been informed by sources that Gerrard’s current contract with Al-Ettifaq is extremely profitable, making it a “hard deal” for him to return to Ibrox.
Clement, however, is under increasing pressure, and Football Insider has disclosed that the 50-year-old is aware that he is “not sitting pretty.”
On Saturday, September 21, the Light Blues will play Dundee in the League Cup to resume their season.
