UNBELIEVABLE NEWS;Sean Dyche’s Everton former manager offered new job as Rangers sporting director

The former Toffees and Burnley boss is one of a number of names strongly linked to the Ibrox managerial vacancy

Sean Dyche has refused to rule him out of the running for the Rangers job – despite confessing now is not the right time for him to take on another managerial role.

The former Everton and Burnley boss is currently out of work after leaving Goodison Park earlier this season but admits he will wait until the current campaign has ended and clubs lay out their future plans before exploring his options.

Rangers are in the final stages of a high-profile American takeover, with Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises ready to take control of the Ibrox side next month. And Dyche is just one of several high-profile names linked to fill the managerial vacancy in Govan.

With newly-appointed Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell tasked with helping identify the Light Blues new boss, a potential reunion with Dyche has been touted after the duo worked together closely at the Premier League outfit.

And the prospect of a new regime doesn’t faze Dyche, who admits he isn’t one of those managers who will sit tight waiting on the perfect opportunity to present itself or that his management style doesn’t always sit well with fans.

Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Dyche admitted: “The timing is wrong at the moment to try and get back in just because it’s the end of the season – not my timing – just that clubs will be trying to fathom out what they’re doing. I got offered a couple of things straight away but said no. But you never say never. I see other managers say it has to be the right club and I think: ‘All the best with that’.
