“No time to waste”: Philippe Clement, die op vliegtuig meteen aan het werk gaat, nieuwe trainer van Schotse Rangers FC

Zijn en hun geduld wordt beloond. Philippe Clement (49) is de nieuwe trainer van de Schotse traditieclub Rangers. “Een eer”, vindt hij zelf. In Glasgow wacht hem een pittige taak. Clement neemt Stephan Van der Heyden mee als assistent.

Philippe Clement emphatically in the picture at Glasgow Rangers, no agreement yet​

Philippe Clement (49) is emphatically in the picture to become the new coach of Glasgow Rangers. This week all parties sat around the table to make their vision and conditions known. Clement then got back on the plane, without an agreement for the time being.

The former champion maker of Club Brugge and RC Genk wants to make the right choice after his adventure at AS Monaco. While Glasgow Rangers is a big, sounding name in that regard, the Scottish league is not highly regarded. It's the same song every year: either Celtic or Rangers taking the national title. Frank Lampard (ex-Chelsea) and Pascal Janssen (AZ) are also on the shortlist of the club where Dessers (ex-Genk) and Raskin (ex-Standard) are now working.

Clement, in turn, enjoys interest in addition to the far-reaching interest of Glasgow Rangers. For example, his name is still on the wish list of Al-Shabab (Saudi Arabia), among others, but Clement already indicated a few months ago that the sporting and the family prevail for him. He then ignored offers from the desert. Likewise, after a year and a half, Clement announced Monaco that he did not want to return to the Belgian competition. Some clubs from the Jupiler Pro League still In vain. Curious which club will soon be able to convince him, because in the Middle- East they dare to be quite persistent.

 

[OrangeBufalo]

Stuck £10 on him at 20/1.

He and Jansen are far better options than Muscat and Lampard for me.

 

[snoopyboymason]

He's a good candidate him and Glasner are the standard we should be looking at

 

[jigster]

A proven track record European leagues ? We should be all over this

 

[Jelle1880]

I'd be fucking delighted with him. It may not have worked out that well at Monaco but his Club Brugge side were fantastic

 

[mustn’t grumble]

It should be between him and Glasner. Two serious, professional football managers.

 

[NoOneLikesUs]

The leak is coming from Belgium so would imagine it ain’t bullshit.

 

[giogaddi]

Really hope this is true.

Hes definitely the most interesting name we've been linked with so far.

 

[Kyle89]

I'd be over the moon getting him considering it's looking more than likely it'll be Frank f*cking Lampard.

 

[Woodilee Loyal]

Stuck £10 on him at 20/1.

He and Jansen are far better options than Muscat and Lampard for me.

Agree. For me he is the best option, and has won things.

 

[JDC76]

He's a good candidate him and Glasner are the standard we should be looking at

Yes - much better.

 

[TynesideTrueBlue]

This is the calibre we should be after if he wants the job then get it done.

 

[JD1872]

Out of the candidates mentioned only Glasner and Clement would unite the support

It's the same song every year it says about the Scottish League either Rangers or Septic
Just the same as just about every other league in Europe then

If Glasner or Clement want it then it should end talks with Lampard and Muscat.

 

[sofakineazy]

He has a good track record and won championships in leagues which are a better standard than ours. Some good news for a change rather than hearing the Muscat/Lampard mantra from the tabloids.

 

[wee_bear]

More good signs, I’m hopeful that there’s a manager in place by the end of the international break now.

 

[Govandream]

Clement and Glasner are the level we should be aiming for.

 

[Rino]

Should be between him, Jansen and Glasner IMO. No doubt we end up with Martindale

 

[GodStruth]

Looks like the strongest of all the candidates linked with us. Obviously a lot of moving parts if we want him, such as budgets, wages, state of the squad, footballing set up

A definite yes from

 

[BombersBoots]

This would be a better than expected appointment a proven manager with a good track record, Get him signed or Glasner.

 

[SuperGers07]

Out of the candidates mentioned only Glasner and Clement would unite the support

The drop off after those two is massive. Albeit, I think the Glasner story might be reaching given its came from Keith Jackson

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

The board should push the boat out for either Clement or Glasner (my choice would be Clement). This is probably the biggest decision they have made or will need to make for years. The future of our club depends on what they do.

 

[OrangeBufalo]

More good signs, I’m hopeful that there’s a manager in place by the end of the international break now.

After last night.

I expect a new man in place quicker thsn expected.

 

[Amity75]

Get him in. Plus, If I screw up my eyes I can pretend it’s Zidane.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Not only did he do fantastic domestically, he got some brilliant results in Europe with Brugge I'm sure. I remember them beating Leipzig away a few years back.

 

[JRei23]

As much as his credentials are good, it will take more than a good coach/manager to sort out the shitshow at our club

 

[albertz81]

Don’t know much about him but looking at his cv he has the experience.

We can’t have another project.

 

[Forth Bear]

Clement and Glasner are the level we should be aiming for.

Both of them levels above Lampard and Muscat.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

That’s a bit more like it. Some better names coming out now.

 

[Laudrup97]

Bisgrove: So we'd love to appoint you but you must have Tavernier as captain.

Phillippe: i have my own ideas who should be captain
.
Bisgrove: Ermmm ok. *oh is that the time*






I say that in jest Out of everybody now looking at his record i'd prefer it was him. Hopefully the big bucks in Saudi Arabia dont stop it.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

Get him in ASAP so he has the international break to work with everyone.

 

[JohnD]

If he can turn this around he deserves a statue. I wouldn't trust these players not to get me the sack by Christmas.

 

[Outlaw Pete]

While this is a positive direction , I will wait until he has signed and is here and has played at least 10 games until I make a judgement on him.

Too many times we make snap judgements on players, managers without even knowing who they were on seeing them play or manage .

This summer was a prime example of this. Only positive for me is at least it looks like he is interested and the board are looking at this level of candidate.

 

[Boabinho]

It should be between him and Glasner. Two serious, professional football managers.

Yes. I would definitely be a bit more excited if one of these guys gets the job.

 

[HotToddy]

Get this done Rangers and asap!

 

[WilkinsBullet]

Should be between him, Jansen and Glasner IMO. No doubt we end up with Martindale

I'm expecting we will soon be interviewing Steve Agnew who is 'experienced and doing a fine job as assistant to Barry Robson at Aberdeen '. It's so cyriel depressing that I will believe anything disastrous is possible.

 

[SuperGers07]

If he can turn this around he deserves a statue. I wouldn't trust these players not to get me the sack by Christmas.

Yeah, we haven’t hit rock bottom yet.

These wasters will be saving that for Hampden

 

[venturablue]

He had Club Brugge playing brilliant. Would be an outstanding appointment.

 

[giogaddi]

As much as his credentials are good, it will take more than a good coach/manager to sort out the shitshow at our club

True. It'd be a good start though.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

A proper, proper manager. I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

 

[giogaddi]

He had Club Brugge playing brilliant. Would be an outstanding appointment.

He fluent in English?

 

[Jelle1880]

He fluent in English?

Most Belgians are in some way or another. It's widely used in the Flemish part of the country

 

[ChernoSamba]

Clement or Glasner are the two outstanding candidates for me from the names I’ve heard. I’d be delighted with either. Won’t be gutted if it’s Muscat but I’d prefer one of the other two.

 

[Empire]

Sometimes I think people just say on here someone is brilliant without much knowledge about the person they are speaking about.

Can someone who does actually know a bit about him explain why he is the best candidate or if he is? I’m sure there’s some who actually do know but unlike others, I’m not going to pretend I know the guy is decent cause I don’t.

Detailed too if possible.

Formation
Style
Players he’s made better
How is character is
Can he work well with a tight budget
Does he cope with pressure

Thanks

 

[Micah Bell]

Please be true. If we look at names like this and ultimately appoint someone with that sort of track record then the board can really give us something to be positive about and go some way to cleaning up the mess created by Ross Wilson and Michael Beale. He wouldn’t have been my first choice but I’d take Clement over Lampard or McInnes any day.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

He's a good candidate him and Glasner are the standard we should be looking at

Clement rather than Glasner for me but either better than Lampard or Muscat IMO

I've never understood why this is always brought up. Out-with Italy mostly every other league in Europe has only really a maximum of 2 (1 in Germany) teams that can realistically win their league.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Hes definitely my preferred candidate of all the names mentioned. You dont win 3 titles on the bounce with 2 different teams, if you dont have something about you
