Brenda Rodgers to take over as Rangers manager as Philippe Clement set rejoin sunderland ending his eight-year sabbatical from the dugout.

First-team coach Alex Rae has reportedly been touted as a possible replacement for Michael Beale at

Sunderland, forcing Philippe Clement to rearrange his backroom staff at Rangers.

After a wild season, the EFL Championship team, now ranked 13th in the standings, fired former Gers manager

Beale in February. Mike Dodds was appointed interim manager as the Black Cats looked for a long-term

replacement.

Pundits have been speculating on a number of names in recent weeks due to the persistent management

turmoil around the Stadium of Light, and it is thought that Rae’s affiliation with Rangers has drawn the interest

of club authorities. Since leaving St. Mirren in 2016, the 54-year-old has not held a managerial position of his

own, although he has played a significant role in the Gers coaching staff in recent years.

After Beale was fired from Ibrox in October, he took over as caretaker manager alongside Steven Davis, and his

Belgian replacement, Clement, was eager to keep a Scot in his new-look backroom group.

Rae, who played for Sunderland for five years from 1996 to 2001, also held managerial positions at Dundee and

MK Dons, Blackpool, and Reading. He also assisted Paul Ince at those clubs. That’s why many people south of

the border have continued to think about him.
