Philippe Clement, currently managing Rangers, has been linked to the vacant head coach position at Anderlecht following the sacking of Danish coach Brian Riemer. Despite a challenging start to the season at Rangers, including an early Champions League exit and trailing rivals Celtic in the league, Clement remains committed to his contract until 2028. He emphasized his long-term intentions for success at Rangers, stating, "Whatever team comes I’m not going away." Former Anderlecht striker Nordin Jbari has endorsed Clement as a viable candidate due to his modern, attacking style of play, although his past association with Club Brugge may pose a challenge for Anderlecht fans. Reports suggest that financial considerations could also influence Clement's potential move. Nonetheless, he is viewed as a strong contender alongside Mark van Bommel for the Anderlecht role.
