Ex-Boss’s Personal Phone Call Couldn’t Change Rangers Star’s Decision to Leave
Rangers midfielder Jose Cifuentes has opted not to reunite with his former manager, Michael Beale, at Sunderland, choosing instead to join Cruzeiro in Brazil, as reported by journalist Alan Nixon.
Cifuentes, recruited by Beale for Rangers during the summer as part of the team’s rebuilding efforts, found himself in a difficult situation after Beale was dismissed due to poor team performance.
Despite Beale’s continued admiration for Cifuentes, the midfielder’s departure from Rangers became a possibility.
Upon learning that Rangers were willing to part ways with Cifuentes, Beale, now managing Sunderland, personally contacted the midfielder to propose a move to his new club.
However, Cifuentes declined the offer from his former boss, ultimately deciding to go on loan to Cruzeiro in Brazil.
Struggling to secure a regular spot under the new Rangers manager, Philippe
Clement, Cifuentes aims to make a positive impact at Cruzeiro, where he hopes to get consistent playing time.
Whether this successful loan stint in Brazil will pave the way for a return to
Clement’s plans at Rangers remains uncertain.
