Rangers’ search for a new sporting director has taken a significant turn, with reports emerging that a key figure from the San Francisco 49ers will not be involved in the process.
The Ibrox club has been searching for a new sporting director since the departure of Ross Wilson, who left the club to join Newcastle United. Rangers have been linked with several high-profile candidates, including the 49ers’ vice president of player personnel, Adam Peters.
However, according to sources, Peters will not be joining Rangers as their new sporting director. The American executive has been instrumental in helping the 49ers build a strong roster, and his expertise would have been a valuable asset to Rangers.
Despite Peters’ non-involvement, Rangers are continuing their search for a new sporting director. The club’s board is understood to be considering several candidates, with a focus on finding someone with a strong track record in talent identification and recruitment.
The appointment of a new sporting director is seen as a crucial step in Rangers’ bid to reclaim their status as one of Scotland’s top clubs. The club has struggled to compete with Celtic in recent years, and the board is under pressure to deliver a successful season.
Rangers’ manager, Michael Beale, has been working closely with the club’s recruitment team to identify potential targets, but the appointment of a new sporting director is seen as essential in providing a long-term vision for the club.
The search for a new sporting director is ongoing, and Rangers are expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks. The club’s fans will be hoping that the new appointment will bring a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of optimism to Ibrox.
As Rangers continue their search for a new sporting director, the club’s supporters will be eagerly awaiting news of the latest developments. With the new season fast approaching, the appointment of a new sporting director is crucial in shaping Rangers’ future success.
