Rangers have appointed Nils Koppen as the club’s new Technical Director

Koppen, 39, arrived in Glasgow last year as Director of Football Recruitment to restructure the club’s transfer business. The Belgian joined up at Ibrox following a number of roles at PSV. Koppen’s promotion will see him continue to oversee the club’s transfer strategy while also taking on overall responsibility for other departments in the club. Koppen will also be responsible for the club’s men’s Academy,

medical, football operations, performance and analysis departments. Koppen, who spoke exclusively to the Rangers Review about the changes made to the recruitment department at Ibrox last month, has held talks in recent months about expanding his role. Rangers have been operating without an overarching executive football role since Ross Wilson, the former Sporting Director, left the club in 2023.

Koppen will remain on the club’s executive management team, alongside Chief Commercial Officer, Karim Virani, and Chief Financial Officer, James Taylor. Speaking upon his appointment, Koppen said: “I am both honoured and delighted to take up the role of Technical Director here at Rangers.

“Winning is all that matters at this club, and it is my job to ensure that everything that supports our men’s first team, from recruitment, to the Academy, medical, performance, operations, analysis, and everything in-between, is at as high a level as possible.

“I look forward to the challenge ahead, and to supporting the wider team as we work night and day to ensure this club is challenging for trophies on every front.” Interim Chairman, John Gilligan, added: “We are delighted to have appointed Nils to the role of Technical Director here at Rangers.

“Nils has impressed throughout the club with his leadership skills. He’s built excellent relationships across both the football and non-football sides of the club, and his knowledge, experience, and vision to drive improvement make him extremely well suited to lead the football department. “We wish Nils every success in his new role.”
