Ancelotti desperation emerges as Rangers sources share next manager update

Rangers could potentially be close to appointing their new manager, as Davide Ancelotti is seen as a top contender at Ibrox.

Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises are working on their takeover in the background, and the Light Blues have stepped up the search for a new manager after Barry Ferguson’s exit.

Ancelotti is a candidate to take charge at Ibrox ahead of next season after leaving Real Madrid, where he was the assistant manager.

The Italian coach seems keen on becoming the next Gers boss, and a fresh development has emerged in the managerial saga in G51.

Rangers new manager appointment close as Ancelotti desperate for job

Ancelotti is desperate to become the permanent manager of the Glaswegian outfit, according to TEAMtalk.

It’s been claimed that while his lack of experience as a first-team manager is a sticking point for some at the Light Blues, he’s seen as a bold and modern option, and remains a top contender.

Steven Gerrard is also under consideration, but the 35-year-old Italian coach is in a good position to be in the Bears’ dugout ahead of next season.

Ancelotti a gamble by Kevin Thelwell and Gretar Steinsson

Kevin Thelwell and Gretar Steinsson are leading the search for a new manager at the Gers, and it’s interesting to see Ancelotti leading the race.

The Italian coach’s lack of experience, despite being in Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich’s dugout, may not be convincing for fans.
