Ex-Rangers manager Philippe Clement 'heading' for new job in Europe
The Czech club finished fourth in the country's top flight last season, remaining winless in their final six games of the campaign. Boss Lars Friis was sacked following a 3-1 cup final defeat to Olomouc that left them trophyless for 2024/25. Read more: A replacement has already been found, though, as Clement is 'heading' to Prague to take charge of Sparta, claims who state that the club should 'officially confirm' his appointment 'soon'. The Belgian departed his role at Rangers just over two months ago. A 2-0 defeat at home to St Mirren was the final nail in the coffin for Clement. Barry Ferguson took over from the 51-year-old, remaining in charge as interim head coach until the end of last season. He led Rangers into the quarter-finals of the Europa League and spearheaded a memorable 3-2 victory over Celtic at Parkhead. It has since been confirmed he won't be getting the permanent gig, though, with the Ibrox side still on the hunt for a new permanent manager. A takeover of the club by a consortium led by 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh was confirmed on Friday: "Rangers Football Club is pleased to announce that a consortium of investors, led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises, has purchased a majority stake in the club, with approval from the Scottish FA," a statement read. "The consortium will chart a new strategic vision for the club's future prioritising on-pitch performance and long-term financial sustainability. "The new leadership has committed to invest £20 million into the club at this time, which will be subject to shareholder approval at the General Meeting on 23 June 2025."
