Erik Gerits coached Clement and was his boss in the boardroom and reckons the English Premier League is a natural next step.
Philippe Clement rescued Rangers from drifting out of the title race, but fans "ain't seen nothing yet" according to his former boss, who reckons he's tailor made for England's top flight.
"I've always liked Philippe as a footballer, and a coach ? but most of all as a man," he told the Scottish Sun. "I can easily see him coaching a club in the Premier League in England? 100 per cent I can visualise that. "And when I had Covid a couple of years ago, he sent me a message saying he had seen the news on TV and that he wished me well. That's the kind of person he is.
"Technically he wasn't the best player, but he was what we call a significant player. He was intelligent and he had what it took to dictate games. "The team got to the final of the Belgian Cup in his first season, and we won the title in his second year. The football was very attractive and effective and it got him a lot of attention.
