Fresh claim emerges on new permanent manager
Carlos Cuellar has shared his opinion on who should be the next permanent manager for Rangers. The club is aiming to finish the season positively, focusing on winning their Europa League quarter-final against Athletic Bilbao, with the first leg scheduled for April 10 at Ibrox.
Barry Ferguson is perfect for the Rangers job – Cuellar
Cuellar, a former defender for Rangers, has endorsed Barry Ferguson as the ideal candidate for the managerial role, highlighting that Ferguson was an influential captain during Cuellar’s time at the club. He believes that Ferguson possesses the qualities necessary to lead the team effectively.
Despite having secured impressive victories against Celtic and Fenerbahce, Rangers have struggled at home, suffering from a two-month winless streak. Cuellar expressed confidence in Ferguson, stating, “When I learned that Barry was taking charge, I was optimistic about Rangers’ future. He organized the team from midfield and was instrumental alongside Walter Smith.” Cuellar emphasized Ferguson’s deep passion for the club and his commitment to success, asserting that his dedication will translate into positive outcomes.
San Francisco 49ers must set a high bar for Ferguson to get the job
However, Ferguson’s chances of being appointed as the permanent manager depend on addressing key issues, particularly at Ibrox, where the team has faced three straight home defeats. Losses to Motherwell, Fenerbahce (despite a penalty shootout), and Hibernian have raised concerns about the team’s ability to perform at home, overshadowing the positives from away wins, including the Old Firm match at Parkhead.
At Ibrox, the team has displayed a lack of energy and vulnerability, often conceding the first two goals in five of Ferguson’s seven games, suggesting defensive weaknesses and a lack of creativity in midfield. Goalkeeper Jack Butland has made critical mistakes, while striker Cyriel Dessers has missed key opportunities, reflecting an attack in need of sharpness.
Ferguson’s team also seems to struggle against opponents who implement disciplined strategies, often becoming predictable and lacking urgency when trailing. This scenario points to a team that may be low in morale and tactical innovation. The San Francisco 49ers, who currently oversee the club, may not find these results satisfactory when considering Ferguson for the permanent position.
