Frank Lampard may be appointed head coach of Scottish club

Frank Lampard is open to speaking to Rangers about their vacant manager position as the club starts the process of finding a permanent replacement for Michael Beale, Report informs, citing Telegraph.

Former Chelsea and Everton head coach Lampard is believed to be among the initial list of candidates Rangers are hoping to speak to before settling on a shortlist after Graham Potter made it clear he is not interested in the post.

Other names in the frame are AZ Alkmaar coach Pascal Jansen, who was born in London and has dual English and Dutch nationality, and Philippe Clement, who most recently coached Monaco before being sacked in June.

Former Rangers defender Kevin Muscat, who is currently in charge of Japanese club Yokohama F Marinos, has also been linked with the succeeding Beale but it is the name of Lampard that is perhaps the most intriguing.

Lampard is currently on a break after his interim spell in charge at Chelsea finished at the end of last season, but he is understood to be ready to consider jobs if they are the right project for him.
