Former Rangers Boss Philippe Clement Rejects Czech Job Opportunity
In a surprise turn of events, former Rangers boss Philippe Clement has rejected the opportunity to take over as manager of Czech side Sparta Prague, according to reports. The news comes after it was claimed that Clement was in line for the job, with confirmation expected to follow.
However, according to iSport, Clement has knocked back the opportunity, and Sparta are now turning their attentions to Danish manager Bo Svensson, who was most recently the boss of Union Berlin. It had been stated that club chiefs had been working on a shortlist of managers, with Clement emerging as the top candidate. Suggestions had been made that an announcement was imminent, but it appears that Clement has decided not to take the job.
The news will come as a surprise to many, particularly given the speculation surrounding Clement’s future in the wake of his departure from Rangers. As reported by Rangers Review, Clement had been linked with the vacancy at Anderlecht in his homeland, while he has also often been suggested for the Belgium job.
Clement’s departure from Rangers has been a major talking point in Scottish football, with the club expected to name his permanent successor in the coming days. According to Rangers Review, Russell Martin, Davide Ancelotti, and Francesco Farioli are all in the mix to take over at Ibrox.
The news of Clement’s rejection of the Sparta Prague job will also be of interest to Rangers fans, who will be keeping a close eye on the club’s progress in the coming weeks. As reported by Rangers Review, Lars Friis was sacked as Sparta Prague manager on May 15 after their cup final defeat to Olomouc, and it appears that Clement will not be replacing him.
In a statement, iSport confirmed that Clement had rejected the opportunity to take over at Sparta Prague, saying: "The Belgian manager has decided not to take the job, and Sparta are now looking elsewhere." The news will be of interest to fans of Scottish football, who will be keeping a close eye on Clement’s future in the coming months.
As the search for Clement’s permanent successor at Rangers continues, fans will be eagerly awaiting the club’s announcement. According to Rangers Review, the club is expected to name a new manager in the coming days, with several high-profile candidates in the mix.
The developments in Clement’s managerial career will be closely watched by fans of Scottish football, and Rangers Review will continue to provide updates on the situation as more information becomes available.
