RANGERS can today confirm the departure of Issame Charai from the men’s first-team coaching staff.
Charai, who joined the club in January to assist Philippe Clement, remained on the coaching staff through Barry Ferguson’s spell in charge.
However, following the appointment of Russell Martin as Head Coach, it has been mutually agreed for Charai to move on with the best wishes of everyone at Rangers.
Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart commented: “I want to place on record the sincere thanks of both the club and I to Issame for his work over the past six months.
“Through the managerial transition in February and beyond, he handled himself superbly and was a real asset to Barry and his staff during their period in charge of the team.
“As the men’s first-team moves forth into this new era under Russell, it has been agreed between the club and Issame for him to move on.
“For whatever comes next for him, I want to wish him the very best of luck. He will always be welcome back at Ibrox.”
Issame Charai added: “As I leave Rangers, I want to thank everyone at the club for their support during my time here.
“This is a really special club, and as it enters a new era, I want to wish everyone associated with the club the very best for what comes next.
“Above all, I want to thank the Rangers supporters for their amazing backing across the period. We had some high moments and some low moments, but their support was the constant. It is something I will always remember and be forever grateful for.”
