Peter Lovenkrands back at Ibrox and keen to make the right impression
Peter Lovenkrands hopes his first coaching job with Rangers could one day lead to the manager's office at Ibrox.
The former Gers forward has landed a job working with the club's youth academy.
The retired Denmark international missed out on a role with first-team boss Pedro Caixinha's back-room staff after he was overlooked in favour of old team-mate Jonatan Johansson.
But he believes his new post could be the first step towards him one day landing the Light Blues' top job.
He told the club's official website: "I'm very excited to be fair and looking forward to the challenge.
"I got asked to come in and do the interviews for the assistant coach job for the first team and I missed out on that - and of course that was hard to take because I really wanted that.
"But then I got asked to come in for this one and I thought it was a really good opportunity to show what I can do and get a foot in the door with the coaching and trying to get my experience across to the younger players.
"I have ambitions, I would love to be higher up and this is a way for me to come in and show what I can do and try to work my way up.
"But it's not like I want to go in and work my way up to be a manager right away. I can't see myself as a manager actually for quite a while, I need to learn a lot of the game in that way, the coaching side of it, but I do think I can see myself being higher up.
"The best way is to go in and show it and work your way up."
