Giovanni van Bronckhorst - Sacked.

[The Dude 20,026]

RANGERS Football Club confirms today it has parted company with manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst. The board would like to put on record sincere thanks to Gio for all his efforts since his appointment as manager.

Arriving at the club just over a year ago, Gio led the club to a fifth European final and won the Scottish Cup last May. He also led the team to the club’s first Champions League qualification in 12 years.

Unfortunately, results and performances over recent months haven’t met expectations and the decision was made today by the board to terminate the contract of the manager.

The search for the new manager is now underway.

Chairman, Douglas Park, commented: “I want to thank Gio for the hard work he has put in over the last 12 months and, especially, the achievements of taking the club to the Europa League final and winning the Scottish Cup last season.

“Unfortunately, recent results have not met neither our nor Gio’s expectations, and we have taken this difficult decision today. Everyone at Rangers wishes Gio every success in the future.”

Only good thing about it is the fact it stops the dreadful patter of ‘he gone yet’

Clubs still fucked

If true why wait the week ? Don't think he's the right man, as many do. But really don't trust the club to get the next one right either.

There was rumours they had been speaking to managers 2-3 weeks ago so maybe they have someone ready to be announced.

Wouldn't be shocked if it was Hassenhutl with the Southampton links.

[Valance1690 3,832]

Big problems still above him but he had to go, dug his own grave with his selections & stubborn attitude

Next manager is a huge choice, either someone to take us up a level domestically or we'll be watching them win the next few titles.

Think it'll be Dyche

[Clemdog 39,389]

Kenny McLean will probably get it.

“He still here” is just as bad. I’ve always thought that patter was chronic

 

[scotty1976 1,671]

Gutted that it didn’t work out for Gio

[Badger 8,734]

This "should" be good news. Key word should.

I have limited faith in what our decision will be to whom we replace him with. Clubs had a reverse Midas touch this season.

However Gio was taking this team nowhere.

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

Will personally remember him for the amazing Euro run, which I think will outlast the terrible domestic form in my memory.

Just didn't work out and had terrible luck with injuries.

Wish him all the best, but excited about a fresh start under someone new.

[JimmyCR1 1,503]

He wasn’t what any of us expected, think we thought we were getting something different in him.

That night at Ibrox against RB Leipzig will still go down as the greatest ever night at Ibrox for me. From the fans to the players to the management that night it really showed what Ibrox can be at its best, and I thank him for that.

I’m sure he will be fine in whatever venture he goes on now.

[Inigo 32,534]

Sad that it went tits up for him.

Good news, but only part of what need to happen. 

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

Want it to by Dyche, think it will be Beale.

Not dead against Beale, and it's who I wanted before we appointed Gio, but just think Dyche is exactly what we need right now.

[BlueKnight87 17,301]

It needed to happen he wasn't going to fix things. 

He's not solely to blame but. Wilson should go as well

[SPWF 8,255]

Can this not get merged with the Gio thread? Surely no need for two. 

[Nimmoger 7]

It's a real shame 😢loved him in blue , brilliant player 

[SkylineBlue 23,445]

Really disappointed at how it's turned out. I wanted it to work for him but the reality is its not been good enough overall. 

I'll always be grateful for the European run he gave us last year and that will be my lasting memory of Gio. 

I'm now incredibly worried about the next appointment.

[middli 1,579]

On SSN breaking news as well 

[MattyBlue 17,132]

All well and good sacking Gio, but nothing will change as long as Ross Wilson is still at our club 

[chrism_scotland 165]

Disappointed it hasn't work out for someone who had such a history with the club, big props for the Europa run but this year has been dire.

Got a feeling the next appointment has already been decided, hence today's news, also have the fear over this, please don't be Beale.
