Ibrox club Rangers are close to appointing Giovanni van Bronckhorst as the new manager of the Gers, according to The Daily Record.
What’s the story?
It has been reported that Van Bronckhorst was in talks with Rangers in London yesterday.
Rangers have identified the Dutchman as the main candidate to replace Steven Gerrard at Ibrox.
Gerrard left his managerial role at Rangers this week to move to Aston Villa.
Van Bronckhorst reportedly held positive talks with Rangers yesterday and is on board with the club’s vision.
The defending Scottish Premiership champions could now rubber-stamp a deal for the former Feyenoord manager in the next 24 hours.
Exciting times for Rangers
Van Bronckhorst is a former Rangers player who is still loved and adored by the Ibrox faithful.
The 46-year-old has first-team management experience with Feyenoord and Guangzhou City as well.
The former Arsenal star was successful as well.
The Dutchman won as many as five major trophies with Feyenoord as a manager, including the Eredivisie in 2016-17.
Look at how Gerrard did at Rangers after coming to Ibrox with no senior first-team football management experience.
In our view, Van Bronckhorst could do just as well as Gerrard, if not better.
