It was Nils Koppen!!!Rangers fc have made a new announcement…
Rangers promoting Nils Koppen from head of recruitment to technical director shows the Ibrox board are still choosing the easy route.
The Gers confirmed on X (19 November) that Koppen had been appointed as the new technical director, having been without one since Ross Wilson departed for Nottingham Forest in 2023.
Koppen, who had only been in his recruitment role for 12 months previously, will now oversee large facets of the club’s football department, despite mixed results on the transfer front since his initial appointment.
A technical director was one of several vacancies in senior off-field roles at Ibrox, but an in-house appointment won’t inspire much confidence for fans that the club are hiring best-in-class replacements.
Nils Koppen appointment could come back to bite Rangers board
Coming into any role mid-season always provides a challenge, be that for players, coaching staff or off-field officials, and as such Koppen can only be fairly judged based on last summer’s transfer dealings.
Of the Gers’ 11 new signings this summer, only five have made anything close to a significant impact at Ibrox, with Liam Kelly and Clinton Nsiala yet to play a first-team minute and Oscar Cortes out injured.
