Philippe Clement has admitted he will not speak publicly about his sudden dismissal from Rangers, insisting the subject remains “too delicate” to be addressed in the media.
The Belgian coach was relieved of his duties at Ibrox earlier this year following a turbulent spell in charge. Despite arriving with a strong pedigree from his success in Belgium, Clement’s reign ended abruptly after mounting pressure and disappointing results left the Rangers hierarchy with little choice but to act.
However, when asked to share his reflections on what went wrong in Glasgow, the 50-year-old drew a firm line. Clement revealed he has chosen not to dissect the details of his departure in public, stressing that some matters are best left behind closed doors.
He said: “There are things in football you don’t always talk about outside. My time at Rangers is something I prefer not to discuss right now — it’s too delicate. I know what happened, and those close to me know too, but the rest is not for the public eye.”
Clement remains highly respected across Europe for his tactical acumen and man-management skills, and he is already being linked with a return to the dugout. Despite the bruising end to his time in Glasgow, he is understood to be keeping his options open as clubs monitor his availability.
For Rangers, the focus has since shifted under new leadership, but Clement’s departure still lingers as a reminder of the instability the club has wrestled with in recent seasons.
