Rangers Technical Director Nils Koppen Departs After US Takeover
Nils Koppen is set to depart from his role as Rangers' technical director following the recent American takeover led by health tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises. Koppen, who joined Rangers as director of football recruitment before being promoted last November, will step down after just six months in the broader role amid scrutiny over his mixed recruitment record and the club's failure to close the gap on Celtic. Kevin Thelwell, formerly of Everton, will assume the role of sporting director, with Dan Purdy expected to replace Koppen as technical director, marking a significant overhaul in the club's football operations. The new ownership has pledged substantial investment to upgrade the squad and is prioritizing the appointment of a new manager, with Davide Ancelotti currently the leading candidate. The restructuring reflects the new regime's intent to revitalize Rangers both on and off the pitch, with Koppen's exit seen as a pivotal part of this transformation.
