Nigeria defender, Leon Balogun has revealed some unique qualities that made Glasgow Rangers’ new coach, Philippe Clement distinct from their past manager given the team’s recent turn of form.
Following the poor results, former coach, Beale was sacked on October 1, and the club employed Clement as coach afterwards.
Following his performance, Rangers have hit form, winning six of their seven games. They have also scored 18 goals within this period.
The 35-year-old, who has started three of Rangers’ last four games, says Clement’s ability to communicate with his players has been the game changer.
“I think his ways, he is very straightforward when you speak to him, he has this manner about him where you know he is just very clear,” Balogun said ahead of Rangers’ game against Aberdeen.
“He just wants to make sure that we get every single detail. Obviously, one thing that always happens if a new manager comes in the door is that everybody is trying to present themselves from the best side.
“That will factor in, but mainly, it is down to the way he works, which is really focused on details. He is just really into the details, and that helps. The door is always open, but again, he is very clear as well and demanding.
The Gers play Aberdeen this weekend, and they would be looking to maintain their unbeaten run under Clement.
After 12 games, Rangers seats in the second position on the Scottish league table with 27 points, nine points behind their Glasgow rivals, Celtics.
The Scottish giants has two outstanding games to reduce the gap between them and the league leaders.
