“Rangers’ Top Target BEGS for Ibrox Move After SHOCKING Revelation – You Won’t Believe Why!”
Rangers eye potential return for Steven Gerrard as permanent manager this summer.
Barry Ferguson stepped in as interim manager for Rangers following the February sacking of Philippe Clement.
While the 49-year-old guided the team to the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, his overall record—just four wins in 10 games—makes a permanent appointment unlikely.
Decisions regarding the club’s managerial future are expected to be delayed until the takeover by the US-based 49ers Enterprises consortium is finalized.
However, the incoming owners are tipped to make a fresh managerial appointment once in control.
According to TEAMtalk (Sunday, 20 April), Rangers are planning to hire a high-profile manager this summer, and a reunion with Steven Gerrard is under serious consideration.
Gerrard, who led Rangers to Premiership glory in the 2020–21 season, remains a respected figure at the club and among supporters.
The former Liverpool captain is reportedly open to a return.
Following his January dismissal from Saudi side Al-Ettifaq, Gerrard is said to be enticed by the prospect of stronger transfer backing under the new ownership—support he felt was lacking during his previous tenure.
While Gerrard appears to be the frontrunner, another high-profile candidate has emerged: José Mourinho.
The Portuguese tactician, currently under contract with Fenerbahce until 2026, is reportedly open to the idea of managing Rangers if approached.
That said, the Scottish giants have yet to make a formal move for Mourinho, keeping Gerrard in pole position for the job.
Ultimately, Rangers are expected to move swiftly to appoint a new manager once the takeover is finalized, with both Gerrard and Mourinho seen as key contenders to take over from Ferguson.
