Rangers Boss Phillipe Clement Defends Position Amid Sack Rumors
Phillipe Clement, Rangers’ head coach, has addressed speculation surrounding his future at the club. Despite a difficult start to the season, Clement emphasized the importance of consistency in management.
Consistency Key to Success
Clement criticized Rangers’ history of frequently changing managers, stating that this approach hinders long-term progress. He advocates for stability, allowing managers to implement their vision without constant disruption.
“In clubs all over the world, consistency is crucial,” Clement explained. “You can’t change ideas every three months, six months, or every year. You need to follow one process, one direction.”
Clement’s Contract and Vision
Clement’s contract reflects the club’s commitment to stability. He emphasized that his focus is on rebuilding the team, reducing wages, and investing in youth development.
“Everybody knows this rebuild takes time,” Clement said. “You can’t do it in one, two, or three months. It’s impossible.”
Fan Support and Criticism
Clement acknowledged fan dissatisfaction but remains resolute. “People who are not happy now were probably happy six months ago,” he said. “I’m still the same man, working harder than ever.”
