SLAVEN BILIC expresses he is “ready” to return to management amid speculation regarding the Rangers position.
The Croatian manager is among the leading candidates for the Ibrox role after being dismissed earlier this month.
Slaven Bilic has extensive experience across various leagues and is eyeing the Scottish Premiership.
Russell Martin faced a challenging tenure, becoming the shortest-serving manager in Rangers history.
Martin became the Gers’ shortest-serving manager, having been dismissed after winning only ONE of his seven Scottish Premiership games this season.
Steven Gerrard was initially the favorite for a return to the Gers, having led the team to a title in 2021.
However, after the Liverpool legend unexpectedly withdrew from consideration, Bilic has emerged as a viable candidate.
The former West Ham manager, 57, has been unemployed since leaving Saudi side Al Fateh last year and is eager for a new opportunity.
Bilic stated to Croatian media: “Of course I’m ready for work.
“I’m at a good age, and part of me wants to work, but I’m waiting for the right offer. In the meantime, I’m enjoying myself.
“I’m still collaborating with [former assistants] Danilo Butorovic and Dean Racunic. I have good people around me.”
Former Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl has emerged as a leading candidate following Gerrard’s withdrawal.
However, SunSport exclusively reported on Monday afternoon that Kevin Muscat is firmly in the running .
Rohl, 36, reportedly impressed owners Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe during an interview last week.
It is believed that the owners prefer a younger coach, which could put Bilic at a disadvantage.
Bilic joined West Ham in 2015, leading the team to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League during his first season and achieving qualification.
He also managed a side that returned to the Premier League in 2020 after finishing as runners-up.
