Steven Gerrard Eyes Backroom Staff as rangers Return Looms
Glasgow, Scotland – Steven Gerrard is already formulating plans for his potential backroom team at Rangers as he continues discussions with the club’s new American owners, with sources indicating an interest in bringing in a key ally of England manager Gareth Southgate. The former Rangers boss held exploratory talks in London yesterday regarding the vacant managerial position, and is seeking clarity on the new ownership structure before committing to a return to Ibrox.
Gerrard, who previously managed Rangers for three and a half years – culminating in the club’s historic 55th league title in 2021 before departing for Aston Villa - is reportedly keen to assemble a strong support staff should he be appointed. While no formal offers have been made yet, steven Davis, a Rangers legend currently working with Northern Ireland national team boss Michael O’Neill, has been linked with a potential role, though Record Sport understands he hasn’t been approached at this stage.
The focus, however, appears to be on bolstering the coaching setup with individuals familiar with modern footballing strategies. gerrard is said to be considering individuals within Southgate’s England setup, suggesting a desire to implement a progressive and analytical approach at Rangers.
“I’d love another couple of challenges and that’s what I’m working on in the background at the moment. A few different ideas, a few different people around me,” Gerrard has stated, hinting at his proactive approach to potential staffing decisions.
Rangers’ leadership is also evaluating other managerial candidates following the dismissal of Michael beale, but Gerrard remains their primary target. He has emphasized the importance of understanding the new owners’ vision for the club before finalizing any agreement.
