The one thing that Genk chairman Peter Croonen regrets about the selection of current Rangers manager Philippe Clement is revealed.

Since taking over at Ibrox in October, the Belgian coach has been nothing short of amazing, winning 22 of his 26 games in charge and taking the lead in the Scottish Premiership.

Before joining Club Brugge, Clement managed Genk from December 2017 to June 2019, during which time the team won the Belgian Pro League.

Speaking on Wednesday, February 21, Croonen said, via Daily Record: “The longer Rangers can keep Phillipe, the better for them.” He has demonstrated his ability to sustain performance across multiple seasons.

“He left us after that first title, which is the only thing I regret about assigning him to Genk. Despite our requests for him to stay, he chose to depart.

Under Philippe Clement, Rangers turn the corner.

Especially in the league, the Gers appeared to be lost under Michael Beale’s leadership, as Celtic appeared to be winning the Scottish Premiership handily.

But under Clement, the tide has undoubtedly turned in Rangers’ favor, as the Ibrox team is presently ahead of the Hoops in the league standings.

Given that he assisted the Belgian team in winning their first league championship since the 2010–11 campaign, it is understandable why Croonen feels envious of Rangers and Clement.

The fact that their present manager has never remained in one location for longer than three years, though, may worry the Ibrox faithful. It might not matter too much whether he can guide Rangers to several trophies over the course of the upcoming campaigns, but it is still a pleasant notion.

In light of Celtic’s supremacy over the previous ten years, Rangers supporters will be praying that Clement stays at Ibrox forever as they have the chance to win just their second league title in the previous ten years.

In other Rangers news, a deplorable old Sunderland video of Michael Beale demonstrates why the team has improved significantly since then.
