Ibrox CEO James Bisgrove said yesterday, during the official unveiling of new boss Philippe Clement, that the Light Blues intend to employ a director of football soon.
Since the departure of Ross Wilson to Nottingham Forest, the club has been without a manager, with Michael Beale functioning without one during his stay.
“We feel we have a really strong group of leaders that will implement the strategy and make key decisions, whether it’s player contracts or player acquisitions,” Bisgrove said.
“But all of that said, we do believe a director of football, a technical director is something that would add additional value and it’s a live conversation that we are having at the moment.”
When asked when an appointment would be possible, he replied, “Certainly within the next few weeks, if not months.” We are currently having live chats.
There are variances in that, depending on who the board, football board, and Philippe agree is the best fit.
“But, I believe it will be imminent.”
