Van Bronckhorst spent a brief spell in charge of Besiktas after leaving Rangers before taking up a role on UEFA's Executive Committee.

Speaking in April of this year, Van Bronckhorst was asked whether he'd like to become the permanent manager of Rangers once again: "No," he said live on TNT Sports.
"For me, that book is closed.
"Maybe as a fan, but no."
Rangers recently appointed Russell Martin as the club's new head coach following a change of ownership this summer.
He officially got down to business earlier this week ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
