After a torrid stint with Chelsea, the 48-year-old has been linked with several sides that were willing to give him the opportunity to get his career back on track. However, after rejecting a strong approach from Lyon, the former Brighton manager is keen to wait for the correct opportunity to become available before heading back into football.<\/p>\n
Ex-Rangers fullback Kevin Muscat is one of the more likely options to head into the Ibrox dugout as it stands, and talkSPORT report that the current Yokohama F. Marinos manager would be interested in speaking with his former side if he is among the candidates to become the new head coach.<\/p>\n

Beale\u2019s successor will have a tricky task in breathing a fresh lease of life and ideas into the squad whilst trying to push for the title. Rangers made it no secret that they expect to be winning the majority of matches upon Beale\u2019s departure, with chairman John Bennett saying: \u201cI\u2019d like to thank Michael for his dedicated work since he re-joined the club as manager last November.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is clear that results have fallen well short of the board\u2019s, Michael\u2019s and our supporters\u2019 expectations. The search process for the new manager is already underway. I wish Steven Davis and the interim management team every success – they will remain in charge for as long as it takes to make the right appointment.\u201d<\/p>\n
