Mark Warburton: Rangers’ Unsung Hero

Mark Warburton is one of football’s good guys who started off as a successful trader in London before making the switch to the United States. As good as he was at that occupation, the main dream was to become a football manager – and he did just that.

After putting his trading career behind him, he started coaching part-time at an academy school. Warburton said to his wife: “We have the money in the bank, the house is paid for, our lifestyle won't change. I want to do this: 10 years to achieve something in the game. It's now or never.”

The Englishman travelled across Europe watching some of football’s elite clubs as he embarked on his journey to become a manager. Warburton came through the youth coaching set up at Watford before departing the club in 2010 after four years. The former defender went to Brentford in 2011 and was appointed as their first-team coach under caretaker Nicky Forster until the end of the season.
