Potential Windfall for Rangers
Rangers Football Club may find themselves in a financially advantageous position if their current manager, Philippe Clement, is appointed as the new head coach of the Belgium national team. Financial expert Stefan Borson has suggested that the Scottish giants could receive compensation of up to £3 million if Clement makes the leap to international management.
Clement’s Future Under Scrutiny
The 50-year-old manager’s tenure at Ibrox is reportedly under threat, especially following a disappointing start to the season. A recent draw against Dundee United has left Rangers trailing Celtic by a staggering 11 points in the Scottish Premiership. With the pressure mounting, the prospect of Clement taking on a new challenge with Belgium could provide a timely exit strategy.
Belgium’s Managerial Shake-Up
According to sources, the Belgian Football Association has been contemplating a managerial change, with current head coach Domenico Tedesco facing the axe. Clement’s name has emerged as a strong candidate, particularly after his former chief executive and mentor, Vincent Mannaert, was appointed as the sports director of the national team. This connection could pave the way for Clement’s potential appointment.
Financial Implications for Rangers
Borson elaborated on the financial dynamics at play, indicating that if Clement were to leave for Belgium rather than being dismissed by Rangers, the club could see a significant financial swing. He stated, “It just depends whether they are about to sack him already in terms of compensation. I suspect £2-3 million is probably the limit.”
A Strategic Exit for All Parties
This scenario could present a “neat solution” for Rangers. Instead of paying out compensation if they were to terminate Clement’s contract, the club could receive financial backing from the Belgian FA. Borson noted, “They may well be encouraging that situation. It allows them rather than paying out compensation to actually get some money in.”
A £5 Million Difference
The financial ramifications of this situation could amount to a difference of £5 million for Rangers. If Clement leaves for Belgium, the club stands to gain compensation while avoiding the costs associated with a managerial dismissal. Borson explained, “The delta between the two could be £5 million, even if it’s only £3 million coming in from Belgium.”
Looking Ahead: Rangers’ Transfer Strategy
As discussions surrounding Clement’s future continue, Rangers are also reportedly looking to bolster their squad through multiple loan signings. The club is keen to strengthen its position in the league as they look to close the gap with their rivals.
