Giovanni van Bronckhorst has announced he is finally ready to be a manager again next season...over 18 months since he was axed by Rangers.
And he's been linked with a stunning emotional return to former club Feyenoord, with Liverpool set to appoint current boss Arne Slot to replace Jurgen Klopp.
Van Bronckhorst guided Rangers to the Europa League Final almost two years ago, but was out the door in November after a poor start to the following season.
He turned down the chance to manage Besiktas last season and has suggested he may not return to management at all because he is enjoying family life too much.

However, van Bronckhorst has now confirmed he does want to manage again and he's been linked with a return to De Kuip, where he won the Dutch title with Feyenoord for the first time in 20 years, before his stint at Rangers.
Van Bronckhorst said: "I'm quite relaxed and I'm having a great time. I'm very happy with the way my life is now, but I'm also excited to start again.
"Hopefully that will be next season.
"I'm starting to get that itch to be involved in football management again.
"I love the dynamics of being a trainer.
"But I admit I am picky and my feeling at a club must be good."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
