The Rangers manager was quick to correct the narrative behind his spell in France.
Phillipe Clement arrives at Rangers with the tangible success of three titles with Genk and Club Brugge in Belgium standing as testament to his qualities. It was this track record that attracted the Ibrox side but they are not the only big club to cast admiring glances towards a proven winner.. While the new Rangers coach arrived in the South of France midseason to chaos, he soon settled the squad and delivered the fabled new manager bounce.
‘The second season, we were playing for second place seven games before the end. And then we lost a lot of points because in all the club there was a bad dynamic. After 50 games there as a manager I had the most average points of the last 21 or 22 years for a manager in Monaco. So, yes, at the end, the six last games killed a lot. But there were also a lot of other games and other periods."
"If you decide everything, when there were very good things before… you decide about five or six games on whether that’s the story or not. And seven games before, you were really happy with the story because you wanted to give a new contract for three, four years… you will never create stability. While Clement's primary challenge will be improving domestic form and overcoming Celtic, Rangers also have the Europa League to think about. It's a competition the manager knows well from his previous clubs while he also has memories of good results where Rangers ultimately want to get to in the Champions League.
"We went with Brugge to Madrid and we played high-pressing there. They were surprised about that. We got a good result. It could have been better if we didn’t take a red card. We won points against Paris St Germain, we won in Leipzig. We won points against Lazio – against teams with bigger budgets.
