The Secret Weapon Rangers Have Been Waiting For? Davide Ancelotti’s High-Press Philosophy Could Change Everything
Speculation continues to build around Davide Ancelotti as the leading candidate to become the next Rangers manager. While he has yet to take the reins of a club on his own, his coaching pedigree and tactical acumen—sharpened alongside his father at some of Europe’s top clubs—make him a compelling option. Ancelotti’s emphasis on adaptability and situational awareness, both in and out of possession, could bring a much-needed shift in mindset at Ibrox. His ability to prepare teams to press high, manage transitions, and adjust systems based on opposition or available personnel suggests he might offer the kind of tactical flexibility Rangers have sorely lacked in recent years.
Cyriel Dessers Drops Bombshell Claim About Rangers’ DNA, Sparking Speculation on Two Key Manager Replacements for Barry Ferguson
There is no clear frontrunner to replace Philippe Clement as manager of Rangers, with Barry Ferguson currently holding the position on an interim basis. The decision on who will take over is expected to be influenced by the upcoming San Francisco 49ers takeover, which could play a key role in the club’s future direction. Additionally, Kevin Thelwell’s appointment as sporting director adds another layer of importance to the managerial decision, given his experience in hiring and firing.
Despite recent struggles, Cyriel Dessers has voiced his support for Ferguson, pointing to his ability to unite the team during a challenging period. Dessers emphasized that Ferguson’s deep understanding of the club’s DNA and his connection with the fans are significant advantages. Ferguson’s experience and leadership have been crucial in stabilizing the team, even though consistency has remained an ongoing issue. However, Dessers also acknowledged that while Ferguson’s knowledge of Rangers is a big positive, other potential candidates like Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat—both with strong ties to the club—could also be considered for the role.
Ferguson’s Shocking Message to Rangers Players: What He Revealed About Their Futures
Barry Ferguson addressed his Rangers players after their 2-2 draw with St Mirren, urging them to be mindful of their futures at the club.

He stressed that even those with contracts were “playing for their future” and noted that the club was heading in the right direction with the ongoing takeover discussions and the appointment of Kevin Thelwell as sporting director. With a short off-season and European qualifiers looming, Ferguson made it clear that a big job lay ahead.
Alan Brazil Erupts in Fury Over Shocking Revelation About New Rangers Manager on talkSPORT!
Rangers fans remain in suspense as they await news on who will manage the team for the 2025-26 Scottish Premiership season. With the highly anticipated US takeover expected to be finalized by summer, the incoming ownership is likely to have their own candidates in mind to succeed Philippe Clement. In the meantime, Barry Ferguson continues to lead the team, having guided them to the Europa League quarter-finals as interim manager.
On talkSPORT, Alan Brazil dismissed the suggestion of Jose Mourinho taking over at Ibrox, defending Ferguson’s efforts and calling for him to be given the job full-time. While Mourinho’s potential departure from Fenerbahce has been widely discussed, Brazil questioned the practicality of bringing him to Rangers, especially with the financial considerations of a new ownership group.
As fans shift their focus to the US takeover, hopes are high that a new manager will be appointed before pre-season begins. With Kevin Thelwell already confirmed as the new sporting director, significant changes—both on and off the pitch—are expected in the coming months.
