talkSPORT: Gerald is on the final list of coaches in the Wanderers, and Ancelotti is also among them

May 20th According to talkSPORT, Russell Martin and Gerrard are on the final shortlist for the Glasgow Rangers head coach.

After the 2024/25 season, the Rangers parted ways with Barry Ferguson. The club confirmed the decision a day after the club tied 2-2 with Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League, and the Celtics once again won the league title. Their city rival Celtics have won 13 Scottish League titles in the past 14 seasons, and now the Rangers may re-activate Steven Gerrard, who once led the team to its only league title.

It is understood that Gerald is considering a return, and he has had a huge success in coaching the Rangers in 2021. However, his coaching career has not met expectations since then, and his performance at Aston Villa is not satisfactory. He then joined Daman to collaborate but performed poorly and left in January.

However, he faces competition from Carlo Ancelotti's son and assistant David Ancelotti, the 35-year-old coach is believed to have played a major role in Real Madrid's tactical arrangements and is now expected to take on the heavy responsibility independently after his father travels to coach the Brazilian national team.

Former Southampton coach Russell Martin is also considered a member of the final shortlist. The Rangers were coached by Belgian coach Philip Clement early this season, but his term ended in February.

club legend Barry Ferguson then served as interim head coach and led the team to the UEFA Cup quarterfinals. Speaking about the outgoing post, he said: "As a player and captain, I have achieved my dreams and being a head coach for the past three months has been a huge honor. Although there have been ups and downs, I love the experience and go all out. I want to thank Neal, Billy and Allen for their support during my coaching period. The support I have received from the Training Center to the Ebrox Stadium is incredible. Most importantly, I want to thank our fans. This season has been tough, but the team and I have always received incredible support. Regardless of the outcome, I will always be a staunch supporter of the club and look forward to continuing to be a Wanderer. Ambassador.” ”

CEO Patrick Stewart said: “The club and all fans will be eternally grateful to Barry for stepping up as head coach. He and his team have performed well in difficult situations and have achieved some excellent results. Barry, Neal, Billy and Allen have outstanding performances in the Rangers’ player careers, and their work has further enhanced their status in the club since February. The welcome they received at Ebrox Stadium on Wednesday night was totally deserved and it means a lot for Barry and his team. We are actively looking for a new head coach and hope to complete the process in the near future.”
