Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted he left Rangers 'in the wrong way' after admitting he would jump at the chance of an emotional return to manage Feyenoord.

The former Ibrox boss has been without a job since being axed by the Ibrox club in November 2022, but has been strongly linked in his Dutch homeland for a return to management with former club Feyenoord, with another ex-Ibrox boss Dick Advocaat insisting he was the obvious choice.

Van Bronckhorst is currently a TV pundit and was asked about the speculation of succeeding Liverpool-bound Arne Slot during the Champions League semi-finals coverage this week.

And he admitted his departure from Rangers still hurt.

He said: "I don't know if it makes it more difficult to return to a club you were previously successful at.

"I was a player for Rangers and went there as a manager. And I left in a way I didn't want to - in the wrong way.

"Of course, Feyenoord is the club of my heart, everyone knows that. I first walked in there when I was seven years old. But nothing is happening at the moment.

"I haven't had to think about it yet. Of course, I had a great time at Feyenoord. Four years as an assistant and then four years as a manager.

"I had a lot of wonderful moments. I cherish that."
