The Secret Weapon Rangers Have Been Waiting For? Davide Ancelotti’s High-Press Philosophy Could Change Everything

May 14, 2025 RAYMOND 0

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.

Shock Twist: Gareth Southgate Emerges as the New Front-Runner for Rangers Job

Rangers have struggled with a six-game winless streak as they search for a new manager, with interim boss Barry Ferguson unable to secure a victory in their recent 1-1 draw against Celtic. With the team desperate for their first home win since February, the pressure is mounting ahead of their upcoming match against Aberdeen.

In a surprising turn, former England manager Gareth Southgate has been linked to the Rangers job. Scott Burns, writing for the *Daily Record*, suggested that Southgate could be an excellent fit, citing his success with England, including guiding them to the Euro 2021 final. Despite not winning a major trophy, Southgate’s ability to lead under pressure, including reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, makes him a compelling option for Rangers, who are eager to regain their glory after a disappointing season.
