Rangers coach compares himself to Guardiola—what’s the story?

Pep Guardiola serves as an inspiration for many managers, and some don’t hesitate to draw comparisons between themselves and the esteemed Spaniard.

Details: Rangers head coach Philippe Clement did just that—but in the context of his job security. Unlike Guardiola, who can be certain about his future, Clement finds himself in a much less comfortable position following Rangers’ Scottish Cup exit in the Round of 16 against Queen’s Park and a 13-point gap behind Celtic in the league.

Quote: "No coach in the world has job guarantees. Maybe only Guardiola at Manchester City—but he deserves it after everything he's done over a long period. This is football, but we are talking about a result that is not acceptable," Clement stated.

Reminder: A Rangers fan profited £338 from the club’s shock defeat in the cup match.
