Rangers 'felt like best project' for Clement

  • Published

New manager Philippe Clement wants to "win everything" with Rangers and has revealed he turned down "several concrete options that were financially better" to move to Glasgow.

Talking to Sky Sports, the 49-year-old Belgian asserted Ibrox "felt like the best project".

"The thing I was looking for was a club with a lot of passion and a real football club with a lot of fans, but also the people I met from the club were really passionate about the club," he said. "They also wanted to change things in the way I see how you need to work at a football club. So, our ideas were really aligned.

"I spoke with Thomas Buffel, who was a long-time player here and knows the club really well. I gathered enough information to make a really good decision."

Asked about recent links to a job in Saudi Arabia, the former Genk, Club Brugge and Monaco boss replied: "There were several concrete options that were financially better, but that is not the important thing for me.

"I want a good project and to build something together with the people of the club, a long-term project that you can make better."

Clement then insisted he is ready to embrace the demands of his new employers.

"In Bruges it was also like this," he explained. "The only goal is to become champions, and after being champions, you have to become champions again. And after being champions for a second time, you have to be champions for a third time.

"It's who I am. Nobody can put more pressure on me than myself. I want to win every game and have every day perfect. I want the next day to be better than the day before.

"I want to win everything."
