    Rangers FC has announced the appointment of a new manager on a contract until 2026, replacing Giovanni van Bronckhorst at Ibrox.

    After Gio van Bronckhorst was fired as the club’s manager, Rangers officially announced the hiring of Michael Beale.

    Michael Beale has been named the 18th manager of Rangers, and the club is thrilled to reveal the news.

    The 42-year-old arrived at the club’s training ground on Monday to complete his move from QPR, where he took charge less than six months ago, and replaces Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who was sacked last week.

    Beale – who has maintained good relations with Rangers since his departure as coach last November – will be joined by coaches Damian Matthew, Harry Watling and Neil Banfield, with further appointments expected.

    Some report revealed on Sunday that Beale’s appointment was imminent, and a club statement has confirmed his return to the club: “Michael Beale is the 18th manager of Rangers with the club delighted to confirm his appointment today.

    “Signing a contract to 2026, the 42-year-old joins from his role as manager of Queens’ Park Rangers in West London having previously worked as first-team coach at Ibrox from 2018 to last November. It is an exciting appointment for the club, with Beale undoubtedly one of the most sought-after young managers in British football.”

    Speaking about his return to Rangers, Beale said: “It is fantastic to be back and to see everybody this morning, there are some new faces but some people that I know really well so it is great to see everyone. 

    “I am hugely proud, it is a wonderful, wonderful football club, it is an institution. For everyone that works here it is a huge privilege, but to be the manager of this football club, that is extremely special. Some wonderful people have sat in this chair prior to me, and I am hugely proud to be the person sat here now.”
