Ianis Hagi’s coach from Rangers, Philippe Clement, is among the favorites to take over one of the best national football teams in the world.
Philippe Clement (50 years old) became more noticeable by the fact that he exiled Ianis Hagi to the second team of Rangers without a plausible reason immediately after the Romanian midfielder returned from his loan from Alaves, and the results from this start of season are not the best. However, the press in Scotland makes him the favorite to take over the technical bench of the Belgian national team.
Philippe Clement, the coach of Ianis Hagi, given the favorite to take over the Belgian national team
Domenico Tedesco, the current Belgium national team coach, is “on the sidelines” as poor results in recent times have not been to the liking of Belgian Football Federation officials, who are looking for a replacement for the former RB Leipzig coach. Among the favorites, paradoxically, are also Philippe Clement, who is not having the best start of the season with the Rangers.
“Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco is under serious pressure after a disastrous 1-0 defeat against Israel, a lackluster Euro 2024 and just one win from six Nations League games.
Tedesco is expected to be sacked and Rangers manager Philippe Clement is heavily favored to take over, especially after Mannaert was recently appointed sporting director. Clement was named by the Belgian press as the leader of a shortlist of five candidates. In addition to the Rangers coach, the list also includes Thierry Henry, Hein Vanhaezebrouck, Sergio Conceicao and Hervé Renard.
Clement was appointed Rangers manager just over a year ago and signed a new extended contract this summer in August,” wrote the thescottishsun.co.uk.
A former Rangers footballer confirms Philippe Clement’s dislike for Ianis Hagi
Derek Ferguson, former Glasgow Rangers footballeris convinced that Philippe Clement simply does not approve of Ianis Hagi, and the future of the Romanian midfielder is on the edge of a knife, the chances of him being sold are increasing.
“I’ll tell you something. Hagi’s mentality, I don’t think is in question. If he’s asked to go play and he gets an opportunity, I think he gives it his all. He is that kind of footballer. Will he be the manager’s first choice? I’m not so sure. I have a feeling deep down that Philippe Clement doesn’t think he likes him, to be honest.
He needed him, clearly, because we’ve struggled with so many injuries, a deal had to be done to bring him back into the team.
So with Hagi, I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves in the summer, but what you will get from him is a good attitude. And if he gets an opportunity, he’ll play and give you 100%, but if he gets the opportunity, that’s another question,” Derek Ferguson told Ibrox News.
