The Rangers should have opted for Jose Mourinho, said a former Scottish star

The Rangers should have targeted Jose Mourinho after having dismissed Philippe Clement, according to the former Scottish winger Pat Nevin, who now thinks that Sean Dyche is the man who will take over in Ibrox.

According to some rumors, Mourinho would have interested the Rangers board of directors during the summer before they choose to appoint Russell Martin as head coach. Martin's 123 -day mandate ended on Sunday, the club being eighth in the classification of the Scottish Première.Nine points drift of Celtic and 11 behind the Hearts leaders.

The search for a replacement for Martin began, but Nevin thinks that the best candidate has already fled. Mourinho was dismissed by Fenerbahce in August but was reappeared three weeks later in Benfica.

“I maintain that the club missed a huge opportunity by not trying with José Mourinho after the dismissal of Philippe Clement – it would have been an excellent appointment,” said Nevin. Betwright online Paris site.

If it's not Mourinho, then Dyche is the next best choice – Nevin

With Mourinho out of the market, Nevin thinks that Sean Dyche would do the trick, despite the concerns of the fans according to which his security -oriented football brand would not be able to bring the right moments to Govan.

“I think Sean Dyche should be taken into account for the Rangers position; I appreciate it very well,” he added.

“Dyche would bring a certain structure and organization to the team, even if the supporters would not necessarily fall in love with the style of play. But they would quickly integrate if the club was in good shape! I do not think there is an obvious choice for the club, but I do not see the club watching a manager already in Scotland.

“Steven Gerrard was the last man to win the championship for the Rangers; he was the fly in the ointment for Celtic. I know that some fans were not convinced by him at the end, but that is what happens with managers.

“I have already had to choose managers before, and the most important thing is to think with your head and not with your heart. Gerrard and Barry Ferguson are both big names in Scotland, but if neither is the best option for the club, they should not be named. The club must always look for the best candidate for the position, whatever his name.”

“Rangers are like Manchester United”

The frequent merry -go -round in the Ibrox shelter means that the club now has a team of players gathered by a set of different managers who have trouble gelling.

Nevin said: “The Rangers are starting to become a bit like Manchester United. There have been so many changes in players and coaches – just like United – and they don't settle down. They have a” Franken team “; there are players who were brought by different different managers, and that also does not help the team.

“As a player, you want to be in a stable environment and avoid dramatic changes within the club, whether it is a change of position or role in the team. Each manager who arrives has an idea of ​​the way he wants the team and individuals to play, so we can ask a player to play a role completely different from the one to whom he is used to, in order to correspond to the style of the manager. Rangers in recent months. “

We see a great opportunity to come – club leaders

Derek Mcinnes and Kevin Muscat were also associated with the vacant position and The president of the club, Andrew Cavenagh, and the vice-president Paraag Marathe wrote to the fans last night in order to appease anger in the face of their current difficult situation.

They said: “A rigorous and thoughtful recruitment process is already underway, and we treat it with the urgency it deserves. We are both deeply involved and the evaluation will hold all our attention until we are sure to have a leader with the character and skills necessary to produce results.

“The change is never easy. But we are not being discouraged by hard work. In fact, we see a great opportunity in front of us. The season is not over and we have a lot to play in the four competitions. Together, we are committed to providing performances and results of which you can be proud.”
