Next Rangers Manager Odds

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has held 'positive talks' according to a few reports doing the rounds and the Dutchman is on the hunt for a new job too, while Rangers are in desperate need to continue their attacking football which, van Bronckhorst will give them.

He is famed for winning the 2016/17 Eredivise against all the odds and being the first man to win the title for Feyenoord for in almost 20 years. In doing so, his men smashed in 86 goals in 34 games and lost only four times along the way and winning 26 games from the 34 in the league put Ajax and PSV Eindhoven to the sword.

Moreover, he managed to win the KNVB Cup with them the year prior and again two years on from that 2015/16 triumph, making him Feyenoord's most successful manager in the past 25 years. Rangers fans should be hopeful on this one by the sounds of the reports, but they are also getting in a top manager with experience in his successful back three formations.

In total, he won 107 games from the 176 he managed, netting a tremendous array of 367 goals and letting in 190. As of now, van Bronckhorst is 2/5 to join the Gers.

There could be a chance that Rangers want to continue the trend of famous, successful England legends turning to management to continue the glory days. Steven Gerrard was one, Frank Lampard could be another and he is the second favourite to be the next Gers manager.

The main difference between Gerrard and Lampard, however, isn't their careers in playing, but in management. The ex-Chelsea star was sacked by his former club recently after a decent spell at Derby where he made a name for himself as a positive up-and-coming manager. He did ok at Chelsea, but Thomas Tuchel has shone a gargantuan light on how far he did indeed fall short, whereas on the other hand, bar Gerrard's topsy-turvy first season in charge of Rangers, he was entirely successful in his one and only gig in management.

Lampard was also great with youngsters, which of course bodes well for any club, but Rangers aren't boasting Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount-esque youngsters so the club may look for more experienced managers in other departments.

He is, nevertheless, linked with many, many jobs right now, which puts him at 5/2 in the next Rangers manager odds.

Derek McInnes has stated he would love the Rangers job now after being previously linked with the club and playing for them throughout their successful period in the 90s where he won won league title and a Scottish Cup. Now, just nine months after leaving Aberdeen, he is 7/1 to take the job and no doubt he would certainly take it too, as opposed to the previously mentioned managers on this list who may be looking elsewhere.

McInnes managed to leave Aberdeen with a 53% win rate where he won 202 games and lost 101, which doesn't put him as Aberdeen's most successful recent manager, but a decent one at that. The run towards the end of his career with the club ended up throwing his job into question, and he stepped down by mutual consent in early March, which in today's world, is the polite way of firing a manager.

McInnes also never impressed at Bristol City and St Johnstone too greatly, but he did manage to win the Scottish First Divison and get St Johnstone in the top flight once more. Regardless of his poor form in places, he famously won the Scottish League Cup with Aberdeen too, and he is now 7/1 on the next Rangers manager odds.

Gennaro Gattuso is the one leading the way as the outside names on the next Rangers manager odds at 25/1, ahead of the likes of Emma Hayes (50/1) and John Terry (33/1). This mainly comes from the idea that the Italian played 51 times and scored five games for the Scottish giants in the late 90s where he became a fan favourite and cult icon and has also recently lost his job with Napoli and on the hunt for a new gig.

Gattuso was a great manager in Naples where he won the Coppa Italia in stunning, famous fashion over Juventus. He left Napoli with a 56% win rate by winning 46 of the 81 games he managed, which is just a few more games he won than the 40 from 83 fixtures with AC Milan.

Since leaving Napoli, they have gone from strength to strength and it's unlikely he will make a step down to manage Rangers at this time.
