Rangers fans may now watch Sunderland games as Jermain Defoe news emerges
Former Rangers striker Jermain Defoe might give the Ibrox faithful a reason to watch Sunderland games from next season.
The ex Tottenham, Sunderland and West Ham forward, who has coached at Ibrox as well, is looking to replace Michael Beale.
Beale, who famously succeeded Giovanni van Bronckhorst in Glasgow did not last too long at the Stadium of Light.
Rangers fans will keep tabs on Defoe’s career
Defoe’s potential move to Sunderland as manager presents an intriguing narrative for Gers fans.
He told the Mirror: “The Sunderland job? Why not? Even when I was a player, I always used to say I’d love to manage this club. If I got an opportunity, I wouldn’t shy away from it, so let’s go.”
Defoe, a former player, carries with him a legacy of success and admiration from the Ibrox faithful.
His desire to transition from player to coach, coupled with his expressed affinity for Sunderland, adds an extra layer of interest for Bears supporters.
If Defoe succeeds at Sunderland, it not only validates his managerial aspirations but also keeps him within the realm of Scottish football consciousness.
Will Defoe return to Ibrox?
For Gers fans, seeing Defoe thrive at Sunderland would serve as a testament to his capabilities and dedication to the sport.
Furthermore, it could potentially pave the way for a return to Ibrox, this time as a manager.
The prospect of Defoe returning to Rangers in a leadership role holds great appeal, offering continuity and a sense of nostalgia for the club and its supporters.
