The Londoner believes he was pulled in many directions while at Rangers, but Sunderland will be a better match.
Michael Beale is ready to be Sunderland’s head coach, rather than “the manager of the entire football club.”
The former Rangers manager was fired in October after a poor run of form forced the Gers leadership to fire him. Beale failed to deliver any silverware to Govan before being replaced by Philippe Clement, who won the Viaplay Cup this weekend after only 10 weeks in the job. After previous Celtic manager Tony Mowbray was ousted, the Londoner is now the new head coach at the Stadium of Light.
Black Cats fans on the whole seemed less than pleased that Beale was to be the new man, hijacking the club’s announcement of the 43-year-old being put in charge. But the former assistant to Steven Gerrard has roared he’s ready for the challenge, and that he was ‘pulled in different places’ at Ibrox. He aimed a further dig saying he’s glad on Tyneside that he won’t be the manager of ‘the whole football club’
He told Sunderland’s official website: “Well, I went into QPR as a head coach and originally went into Rangers in the same role.
“There was a lot of changes with people leaving and I got pulled in different places. The thing I am really comfortable with here is the alignment through the club.
“My role being in line with that as a head coach and having an opinion and an idea on other aspects of the club but I want to be the coach of the team – not the manager of the whole football club.
