Pires says Rangers boss Gerrard is a trail blazer for new generation of high-profile managers

Daily Mail  

Robert Pires could have brought a touch of stardom to Rangers a dozen years ago. ‘When you are a player it’s good when you receive offers from clubs such as Rangers because everyone in Europe knows they are a very good club and especially in Scotland. Pires regards Steven Gerrard as a standard bearer for a new wave of high-profile managers He can look to Rangers’ Europa League adventure for evidence. ‘I think it’s very important to see new faces on the bench, such as Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard, Theirry Henry or Patrick Vieira, who has just joined Nice in Ligue 1. The relationship between the new manager and players is very, very important.’ Gerrard may have signed from Ligue 1 — bringing in Malian midfielder Lassana Coulibaly on loan from SC Angers — but the French talent in Glasgow currently resides on the opposite side of the city.
