Former Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has landed a shock new job as a fashion brand ambassador.

The Dutchman has joined forces with Blue Rivet, a jeans brand for men, with a focus on a clean style, a clear product range and a high growth potential.

Van Bronckorst has been out of work since he was sacked by Rangers in November last year after falling nine points behind Celtic and a disastrous Champions League campaign that set unwanted records after six defeats.

He did however lead Rangers to a Europa League Final and a Scottish Cup success the previous season, but he is yet to return to management since moving on from Glasgow.

Speaking recently about the hurt he felt after being sacked by Rangers, van Bronckorst explained: "At Rangers, I was fired in November and that hurt.

"We won the Scottish Cup and reached the final of the Europa League in Seville and only lost to Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties.

"And then we reached the group stage of the Champions League for the first time in a very long time.

"Since then, I have been back to the Feyenorrd training complex many times.

"I really enjoy that they appreciate what I have done for the club.

"At Feyenoord as manager I saw out my contract and there was never any hassle from the club.

"I don't think managers get much credit these days, but what happened hasn;t dampened my enthusiasm to return to football management.

"Of course, I want to continue as a manager and there have been possibilities, but I either didn't come to an agreement or I didn't have a good feeling about it.

"No, I don't think it will be in the Netherlands. Perhaps in southern Europe. From my time at Barcelona, I know what it is like to live and work there, that appealed to me then and appeals to me now, but we will see what comes my way.

"I still go to all the Feyenoord games. I actually travel to them on my scooter because it's nice and quick and I am delighted they are going to win the title.

"But I have certainly enjoyed spending time with my family too."
