•  McCoist questions Beale’s comments and highlights non-footballing issues he faced at Rangers.
•  Replacing Tony Mowbray will be difficult as he was well liked by Sunderland supporters.
•  Beale must hit the ground running and get results to establish himself as a positive addition to the club.

Ally McCoist, a Rangers icon, has voiced his opinion regarding Michael Beale’s hiring as Sunderland’s manager.

After a dismal start to the season, the 43-year-old left the Scottish powerhouses earlier this season.

Tony Mowbray was fired at the beginning of the month, and the former

manager of QPR has been recruited into the Stadium of Light in his place.

This season, Sunderland will be vying for promotion to the Premier League, which

will place instant pressure on Beale to perform.

The former manager of the Rangers has assumed the position of head coach, and

his primary goal will be to achieve success with the group of players at his disposal.

McCoist puzzled by Beale’s comments

McCoist questioned some of Beale’s comments following

his Sunderland appointment, in particular highlighting the non-

footballing issues he suffered with Rangers.

Given how well-liked Mowbray was by Wearside outfit supporters, the Scot also thinks it will be challenging to replace him.

According to Talksport, McCoist stated, “I have no idea what he meant by saying.

Is he perhaps discussing matters unrelated to football? He’s going to have to answer to that in the next press conference.

But Rangers is a really big team.

It can be challenging at times to focus solely on coaching the side.

The strange fact that Philippe Clement entered and performed really well for

the Rangers—something he cannot control—has probablyn’t helped.

“For Michael, things didn’t work out at the Rangers.

“Regardless of what anyone thinks, there will be Sunderland supporters who will be sad to see Tony Mowbray leave.

It won’t be simple to emulate Tony.

Beale will be the center of attention for the foreseeable future; he needs to make a quick impression. Normally, a manager is brought in to take over at a club because the previous manager didn’t do well, but Mowbray wasn’t all that bad.
