Rangers FC to appoint Moroccan Issame Charai as assistant manager

Rangers FC is on the verge of appointing Moroccan Issame Charai as the first assistant manager to Philippe Clement, the club's coach, according to recent reports.

The 42-year-old is reportedly set to ink a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Scottish club in Glasgow later today. Charai has already attended one of Rangers' training sessions, gearing up for a crucial Europa League clash against Saint-Gilloise on Thursday.

Charai boasts an extensive managerial background. His previous roles include serving as assistant coach at Belgium's KV Mechelen and OH Leuven, as well as Morocco's Under-23 team. Additionally, he has experience as the assistant head coach to Liam Rosenior at Ligue 1 club Strasbourg.

In Glasgow, Charai will reunite with fellow Moroccan Hamza Igamane, who plays as a forward for Rangers.
