Bowley to Rangers move edges closer as coach delivers farewell message to City Football Group

Bowley to Rangers move edges closer as coach delivers farewell message to City Football Group

CERI BOWLEY'S move to join Rangers as part of the backroom staff appears to have moved closer after he paid an emotional farewell to City Football Group.

The former head of coaching support is set to link up with Giovanni van Bronckhorst at Ibrox having previously worked alongside him at CFG in 2019.

The Athletic revealed Van Bronckhorst is keen on a reunion at Rangers with Bowley to join the club and take on a "wide-ranging" role.

Last night, Bowley took to Twitter to thank his colleagues at City Football Group on his final day working there.

Sharing a farewell message, Bowley wrote: “Today was my last working day as Head of Coaching Support at City Football Group. It has been a privilege to work for a prestigious organisation who are among the leaders in multi-club ownership.

"Twelve countries and five continents, I am blessed to have witnessed the power of the beautiful game to unite people in pursuit of a common vision.

“From six clubs in 2019 to 12 today there have been so many special moments - league titles and championships, promotions, club trained player debuts, coach transitions to name a few… unforgettable.

“I have experienced and learned more than I could ever have imagined in the past 3+ years and will be forever grateful for the opportunity afforded to me.

"To global football colleagues, your determination and relentless commitment will continue to inspire - keep being awesome!

"Finally, to all technical football staff, thank you for allowing me to be part of your journeys. It has been an honour to share the rollercoaster that each season brought. I will continue to support from afar. Good luck and thank you.”
