Rangers confirm Ferguson will leave manager’s role

After it was confirmed that Saturday’s draw against Hibernian was Barry Ferguson’s last game as Rangers’ interim manager, he says he has “loved this experience.”

Ferguson had expressed his desire to continue playing the role when Philippe Clement was fired in February, but those hopes have been thwarted.

The 47-year-old leaves with Allan McGregor, Billy Dodds, and Neil McCann, his coaches.

Ferguson said, “I’ve already lived the dream as a player and as Rangers’ captain, and it’s been a great honor to do so as head coach in these last three months.

“There have been some ups and downs, but I’ve always enjoyed this experience.” I have a lot of support, thank you.

No matter how this time went, I pledged to support the club a lot and look forward to serving as a Rangers ambassador.

A consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises Global Football Group, who want to acquire 51% of Rangers, is currently in the process of doing so.

And Davide Ancelotti, 35, who works for his father Carlo at Real Madrid, has just come to mind when it comes to managing the Ibrox.

The search is “progressing well,” according to Rangers’ CEO Patrick Stewart, and we look forward to the completion of our process in the near future.

He also expressed gratitude to Ferguson and his coaching staff, citing “several memorable moments,” including reaching the Europa League semifinals and Old Firm winning at Celtic Park.

Stewart added, “The club, and I’m sure all of our supporters,” will be forever grateful to Barry for stepping up and playing head coach.
