News about Pascal Jansen

Rangers are second-favourites at 11/4 to win their 56th title, while the Celtics, a cross-city rival, is overwhelming favourites at 2/9 to lift their 12th Premiership trophy in 13 seasons. Rangers are also the second-favourites behind Celtic to win the Scottish Cup, with Clement's side 5/2 odds to win Scotland's second-most prestigious title. The Scottish League Cup is the final trophy they are hoping to win. Rangers are the shortest-priced club at 15/8, followed by Hibernian, Aberdeen, and Hearts at 9/2, 5/1, and 8/1 respectively at the time of writing.

Frank Lampard, the former Premier League great, has increased significantly over the past 48 hours to leapfrog previous favorites Kevin Muscat and Pascal Jansen, who had previously received double digit odds. With Sky Bet, Muscat and Jansen are now the second and third favorite spots.

Kevin Muscat, the former and current Yokohama F. Marinos boss, has been one of the lowest priced to replace the current Rangers boss in the hours since the news was revealed. Muscat has widened to 5/2 to place second-favourite in the market, behind AZ Alkmaar's Pascal Jansen, who is 2/1. If Muscat is to be the next gaffer of the infamous Glasgow club, he would have taken an eerily similar route to former Celtic boss and current Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou.

IAN HERBERT: At the top of the concrete steps leading to the seats where West Ham's VIP guests waited in a state of fear at AZ Alkmaar's stadium on Thursday night, it was a man against boys. A group of Dutch youths, some wearing balaclavas, smashed down a metal fence and flooded up the touchline, with some waving their arms in the air before scaling the stairs to greet the visitors. There is a burly Londoner of such size in this area.

The brave Brit in another world can be seen shaking off the Dutch hooligans at the top of a flight of stairs as they attempt to flood into the seats. Supporters in West Ham's Europa Conference League semi-final victory over AZ Alkmaar erupted as players erupted as Dutch supporters threw a section of visiting supporters where many of their loved ones were seated. Footage shows the heroic Hammer standing at the top of a flight of stairs holding the crowd at bay.

Mail Sport reveals that the relatives of AZ Alkmaar's chief Pascal Jansen (inset) were among visitors who had to be removed by London Stadium security for their own protection. After his team's 2-1 loss, Jansen, a London native, told the world that there had been an incident shortly after AZ's goal (pictured) involved his partner and two children when asked. According to reports in Holland via the Telegraaf, a'stiful group of AZ supporters' was chased out by ardent home supporters. 'I know they are fine,' Jansen said of his distraught family members.'

By Dutch standards, AZ Alkmaar is regarded as a modest club. They compare favorably to Ajax, Feyenoord, and PSV Eindhoven, with just two Ethical titles and one European final appearance in their history. However, West Ham should have no doubts about the challenge in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, which starts on Thursday night. AZ must always strive to excel without the same fame or resources as the Netherlands' top three, and they do.
