Rangers manager set to rejoin sunderland ending his eight-year sabbatical from the dugout.

This summer, Rangers manager Philippe Clement may be willing to approve a move for one of his backroom

staff members. Clement may have to rearrange his backroom staff at Rangers due to rumors that first-team

coach Alex Rae may take Michael Beale’s post at Sunderland.

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.

Michael Gray, a former England cap, also verified that while talking about his former club with Ally McCoist on

talkSPORT, he heard Rae’s name associated with the role. “The season has just not been good at all,” Gray

remarked. I believe Sunderland had everyone back on board with Tony Mowbray, which had presented some

challenges.
