Ex-Rangers boss Philippe Clement rejects lucrative managerial return offer

Former Rangers boss Philippe Clement has rejected the chance to manage Egyptian champions Al Ahly.

He's been strongly linked in his homeland to take charge at Anderlecht with current manager, Albanian coach Besnik Hasi, under pressure after two defeats in his first five league games of the season.

Clement was offered a financially lucrative return to management in Egypt, with Africa's most successful club Al Ahly.

They sacked Spanish boss Jose Ribeiro after a weekend home loss to Pyramids FC and approached Clement to take charge.

However, the 51-year-old told them he had no interest in managing in Egypt and declined the offer.
