Rangers-linked Manager Kjetil Knutsen of Bodo/Glimt increases his lead over Molde of Norway in the Eliteserien.
The 55-year-old Norwegian manager is inching closer to winning his team’s third championship in four seasons with the club after leading them to a 3-1 victory away at Molde in the country’s premier division.
Kjetil Knutsen, an offensive coach who has the Norwegian team punching above their weight both domestically and in Europe, keeps proving why he’s being mentioned as a potential new Rangers manager.
Bodo/Glimt and Kjetil Knutsen took advantage of Viking’s 1-1 tie with Odd the day before to defeat Molde and take the Eliteserien lead by three points.
Bodo/Glimt are now the overwhelming favourites to win the Eliteserien going into the final six games of the season, with the 3-1 win away to Molde perhaps being a pivotal weekend for Kjetil Knutsen’s campaign.
Could Kjetil Knutsen be the Rangers’ next manager?
The outcome also comes as Rangers look to replace Michael Beale and Kjetil Knutsen has been connected to the open managerial position.
Before selecting on their new manager, Rangers intend to consult with Pascal Jansen of AZ Alkmaar and Kjetil Knutsen of Kjetil Knutsen of AZ. This information comes from Sun journalist Alan Nixon.
Nixon asserted that Kjetil Knutsen would accept the Rangers position if it were made available, reiterating earlier assertions that the Norwegian had “expressed interest” in the position.
Even former Celtic manager Ronny Deila warned Knutsen about the expectations in Glasgow as a result of the talk about the skilled manager and a prospective move to Rangers.
Kjetil Knutsen, who is frequently connected to some of the top positions in Europe, has previously asserted that only a “special” project could persuade the coach to leave Bodo/Glimt mid-season.
