Sacked in January: Manager Rangers considered before Clement now in talks over Olympiakos job

Pascal Jansen, who was fired by Eredivisie team AZ Alkmaar, may potentially find himself at Greek powerhouse

Olympiakos instead of the Rangers.

At the risk of coming across as a bit optimistic, we would advise Pascal Jansen not to get too accustomed to being the

Olympiakos manager in the event that he takes Carlos Carvalhal’s position at the Karaiskakis Stadium.

President Trigger Happy Comparatively speaking, former Swansea coach Carvalhal would appear composed and

composed next to Evangelos Marinakis, the club’s thirteenth permanent manager in the previous ten years.

Before Philippe Clement’s brilliant hiring in the fall, Rangers were considering Janssen, who would soon wear

number 14. According to the Greek newspaper Sportal, Jansen met with Marinakis after being fired by AZ Alkmaar

and witnessed Olympiakos’ youth team play Inter Milan in the UEFA Youth League this week.

It’s interesting to note that Barak Bakhar, another tactician who was once connected to Ibrox, is reportedly the

Dutchman’s main contender for one of the most desirable positions in European football.

Rangers looked at Pascal Jansen before Eredivisie exit

A few months prior, Jansen had AZ Alkmaar dominating the Eredivisie. Nevertheless, after a dismal campaign at

home and an early departure from Europe—after Arizona advanced to the Europa Conference League semifinals the

previous season—his standing swiftly declined.

After his abrupt departure at the beginning of the season, Jansen informed the AZ website, “I have been around the

football world long enough that I know this can be part of it.” Naturally, it is regrettable and unfortunate.

“Despite this disappointment, I am proud of my time at the club and the opportunities I have been given here. And

above all, I would like to thank my players and staff for the pleasant and intensive cooperation. I wish the club and its people all the best in the future.”

In talks over Olympiakos move

If Jansen accepts the Olympiakos position, he will follow in the footsteps of notable figures like Carlos Corberan,

Leonardo Jardim, Marco Silva, and Ernesto Valverde—and perhaps fare better than any of them did under Marinakis.

Conversely, since they placed their trust in Clement, the Rangers have only gotten stronger. With a 2-1 victory over

Neil Warnock’s Aberdeen on Tuesday, Rangers tied Old Firm rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership

standings, if only for a day.
