Kevin Thelwell is pushing hard behind the scenes to install Sean Dyche as the next permanent manager of Rangers, according to insider sources.
With interim boss Barry Ferguson unlikely to retain the role beyond the current campaign, the search for a long-term managerial solution is well underway. Thelwell, recently appointed as Rangers’ sporting director, has now emerged as a key figure in identifying and recruiting the club’s next leader—and Dyche is reportedly at the top of his list.
Despite past speculation of a strained relationship during their shared time at Everton, Thelwell is said to hold Dyche in high regard, believing his no-nonsense, high-energy approach to football would resonate with the Ibrox faithful and fit the club’s demands.
Sources suggest Thelwell has made a compelling case to Rangers’ board, championing Dyche as a manager with the resilience, leadership and Premier League pedigree to navigate the intense expectations in Glasgow. He’s also confident that Dyche’s straightforward, high-tempo style of play could earn swift buy-in from fans and players alike.
Dyche, who was dismissed by Everton earlier this year and succeeded by David Moyes, spent nearly two seasons at Goodison Park, successfully steering the club away from relegation on two occasions. While his tenure didn’t end in silverware, it did showcase his ability to stabilise and motivate struggling squads under pressure.
Rangers, meanwhile, are undergoing major transition following a trophyless season and a substantial gap behind rivals Celtic in the Premiership title race. As revealed by *Football Insider*, the club is preparing to financially back their next manager heavily this summer, arming them with the resources to mount a more credible title challenge.
While the club is expected to wait until after the season finale to make a formal announcement, it’s becoming clear that Dyche has influential support at the top—and could be the man trusted to rebuild and revive Rangers’ fortunes.
