# Rangers: Fans buzzing over manager news on Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Derek McInnes

**Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been left buzzing as managerial news emerged on Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Derek McInnes.**

As per [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/giovanni-van-bronckhorst-strong-contender-to-become-new-rangers-manager-after-gerrard-departure/hBoveZSNJOTe/), the former is now a ‘strong contender’ to replace Steven Gerrard at Ibrox and has ‘expressed his desire’ to rejoin his former club. On the other hand, McInnes – who ‘turned down’ the vacancy at the Light Blues in 2017 – is ‘not understood to be in the running’.

Van Bronckhorst has an impressive managerial CV, having guided Feyenoord to their first Eredivisie title in 18 years back in the 2016/17 season ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39915623)), while he also won [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/giovanni-van-bronckhorst/erfolge/trainer/20014) other major trophies with the Rotterdam club. Of course, he is also a [two-time Premiership winner](https://www.transfermarkt.com/giovanni-van-bronckhorst/erfolge/spieler/3191) as a player with the Light Blues.

Meanwhile, McInnes’ CV is less convincing, with just [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/derek-mcinnes/erfolge/trainer/5526) trophies to his name, and he has only managed [St Johnstone, Bristol City and Aberdeen](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/derek-mcinnes/stationen/trainer/5526) before.

Therefore, it is not a surprise to see so many Gers fans leaning towards the appointment of Van Bronckhorst over McInnes.
