He’s been to have talks , twice.
Steven Gerrard is a contender to become the next manager of Rangers, Sky Sports News understands.
Initial talks have been held between the Liverpool academy coach and the Ibrox hierarchy over the former England captain potentially replacing Graeme Murty.
”As for his next step, Gerrard will explore options with Klopp, academy director Alex Inglethorpe and others at the end of the season. “I’m not sitting here thinking I’ve done it for five months so bring the job interviews on,” he says. “In six months or a year or two years’ time there might be an opportunity where I think I’m much better prepared than I was five months ago. The MK Dons job, for example, which came up just after I had finished playing, was like a smack in the face. There was no way I was ready to lead a club or a team. Am I closer to that now? Of course, but I am happy where I am right now.
“I could get a first-team job and get sacked after four or five games. It might put me off for life. I might take my first job and win a league and that might set me up for the next 10 or 20 years. I can’t predict the future. All I can do is make myself as prepared as I can be for whatever roles I take down the line. In a year’s time I might have three opportunities and three of them might not be here. I can’t sit here and say ‘Oh no, I only want to work for Liverpool Football Club’. In an ideal, perfect world everyone knows what I want but right now it’s not worth thinking about.
