BREAKING NEWS:‘I want to speak about that’ – Rangers boss Philippe Clement opens up on links with major European job
PHILIPPE CLEMENT insists he’s at Rangers to stay.
The Gers gaffer has been heavily linked with the Anderlecht job.
But on the eve of Light Blues’ Europa League opener against Malmo the Belgian dismissed all talk of a return home.
Clement said: “I want to speak about that.
“It’s really clear, I engaged myself long-term for Rangers last month, so whoever comes, whatever team comes, I’m not going to go away.
“I’m really clear.
“I want this project with the club to make it really successful for the future and we all know we need time for that, we need a few transfer windows for that, we need a lot of work to do for that, and that’s what I want to do.
“Because I love the city, I love the club, I love the dynamic at Ibrox with the fans, so I’m here to stay.”
Earlier this week interim Ibrox chairman John Gilligan gave his full backing to Clement – vowing the manager WILL have cash to splash in January.
The 50-year-old has been buoyed by his talks with the new look Gers executive and he believes together they can move the club forward.
“It was not easy in the summer, we talked about that, maybe the people in the club will talk about that later on, in the next couple of months also, about that situation.
“Of course, as a manager you hope to get more funds in to do the right thing for the club, but with the resources that were there.
“I think everybody is starting to see that a lot of good things have been made.
“And it’s now interesting to work with that and to focus on that.
“And then, of course, to plan towards January, what we are doing already, and to plan towards next summer.
“We’re also busy with that, but that’s our job and with recruitment to do.
“It’s important to have also money to do the right things for the club.”
