Ex-Rangers man Giovanni van Bronckhorst has discussed a possible return to Ibrox.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has told The Sunday Post (02/06, Post Match, p11) that he can’t rule out returning to Rangers as Ibrox boss in the future.
The Gers moved to appoint Steven Gerrard last May, bringing in the Liverpool legend as the permanent replacement for Pedro Caixinha.
That was a decision which so far looks like a smart one, with Gerrard enjoying a decent first campaign in charge, but others were linked at the time.
One such candidate was Van Bronckhorst, who was in charge of Feyenoord at the time, just a year after winning the Eredivisie title with the Rotterdam club.
Van Bronckhorst was a popular figure at Rangers after signing from Feyenoord in 1998, and he racked up 22 goals in 117 games for the club before heading to Arsenal.
The Dutchman has been carving out a career in coaching in the Netherlands, but is now leaving Feyenoord this summer, meaning he’s available for another job.
Van Bronckhorst has now admitted that it was nice to be linked with Rangers at the time, and couldn’t rule out the possibility of managing the club in the future, admitting ‘you never know’ what could happen.
“To be the manager of Rangers is a huge honour, of course,” said Van Bronckhorst. “I’ve been linked with it once or twice, and that was very nice. It’s a great football club and has a special feeling in my heart. So it was a huge compliment. But I was totally committed and focused on Feyenoord.”
“You never know what may happen in the future, and we all know that it is never wise to try and predict where your career may take you. You never know what happens because I know the club and have nice feelings for it. But it’s important for everyone to support Steven and the players next season. That is the only focus,” he added.
