After losing Gerrard, Rangers introduces another former player as coach

Rangers announced, in a statement issued through official platforms at the end of this Thursday afternoon, that they reached an agreement with a view to hiring Giovanni van Bronckhorst as the technical command of the main team.

The former Dutch international, who has been free since leaving Guangzhou R&F due to complications caused by the pandemic, succeeds Steven Gerrard, who recently departed for Aston Villa.

The former left-back thus returns to a 'home' he is well acquainted with, as he was, precisely, at the service of the historic Scottish club that had his first experience outside the Netherlands as a player, between 1998 and 2001.

"I am absolutely delighted to be returning to Rangers as a new coach. I feel very lucky to be able to work with a team that is in a great position on all fronts and has experience of winning," he began by saying.
