Gerrard set for new role at Liverpool as he moves up the coaching ladder

He’s coming for your job, Jurgen.

STEVEN GERRARD LOOKS set to take charge of a Liverpool academy team next season as he continues to work his way up the coaching ladder at the club.

After calling time on his illustrious career last summer, Gerrard has been involved in the Reds’ youth system in a non-specified role since January, and has been seen working closely with the U18 team.

When asked about Gerrard’s role within the club at a press conference this afternoon, Klopp confirmed that he’s ‘pretty sure’ the former Liverpool captain will coach a team from next year.

“There is not a real announcement in this moment, but what I can probably say is ‘yes’,” Klopp said.

“He is doing a real job at the Academy at the moment with his presence and everything, being around and giving advice and leading little or bigger sessions and all that stuff.

“They all enjoy it a lot. He especially enjoys it a lot.

“Yes, he will be the coach of a youth team next season, I’m pretty sure. But we will tell you exactly which team when we want to tell you.”

    Seems right that a player who never won a PL title or medal should manage a club that’s not won a PL either……. match made in heaven … roll on the laughter years again ….

    What a player he was for liverpool in 16 years, comparing him to paul scholes would be offensive to stevie G and paul scholes was a decent player but he can be thankful that he ever played with gerrard

    @John Delaney: very overrated player Scholes. Couldn’t run dribble tackle head. Average at a stretch. Gerarrd and lampard and viera and Keane top midfielders.

    English Teams With Most Major Trophies Titles
    After winning the 2016 FA Cup and 2017 EFL Cup Manchester united overtaken Liverpool as the most successful teams in English football as far as major trophies are concerned. (English Division 1 titles, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup). Manchester United now have 42 major titles (20 League titles, 12 FA Cups, 5 league cups, 3 Champions League and 2 FIFA Club World Cups). Liverpool on the other hand have 41 (18 league titles, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups, 5 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups). If we further expand trophy list with the likes of community shield and the UEFA Super Cup etc United out-scores Liverpool with 66-60 titles.

    If he is half as good a manager as he was a player that would be something else.
