Steven Gerrard and Jose Mourinho Eye Rangers Managerial Role Amid Ownership Shift

Steven Gerrard and Jose Mourinho are reportedly interested in the managerial position at Rangers FC as the club undergoes a significant ownership change.

As Rangers FC prepares for a major ownership shift, the managerial position at the Scottish Premiership club has become a hot topic. Steven Gerrard, who previously managed Rangers and still holds a strong connection with the club, is being considered for a return. Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho, currently the head coach of Fenerbahce, has also expressed interest in the role, contingent on the support of the new owners, the San Francisco 49ers.

The ownership change involves American healthcare tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, who have secured a 51% controlling stake in Rangers. This move is expected to bring significant financial backing, aiming to close the gap with rivals Celtic. The new owners are committed to providing the necessary resources to make Rangers competitive in the upcoming season.

In other news, Oday Dabbagh, who scored the winning goal in the Scottish Cup semi-final, has hinted that the final might be his last game for Aberdeen. The on-loan forward from Charleroi has left his future in the hands of his agent. Additionally, Craig Gordon, the veteran Hearts goalkeeper, remains uncertain about his future as his contract nears its end.

The managerial search and ownership changes at Rangers are set to shape the club's future, with high-profile names like Gerrard and Mourinho in the mix. The coming months will be crucial as the club aims to strengthen its position in Scottish football.
