Reds legend will mentor young players
Steven Gerrard is set to accept a role in Liverpool’s youth academy setup.
The Liverpool legend announced his retirement yesterday after a successful 19 year playing career.
And now the former captain is thought to be ready to become part of the club once again, by accepting an opportunity to work amongst the youth ranks.
Shortly after the announcement, Jurgen Klopp reaffirmed the club’s intentions to bring Gerrard back in some capacity.
Gerrard’s decision to call time on his playing career signals his intention to start down an alternative path towards management.
“In the future I definitely have dreams and aspirations of having a go at management or assisting the manager and being back involved in the dressing room but I’ve got many, many years to do that,” said Gerrard in an interview on BT Sport, where he is working as a pundit.
“I am excited about the future and feel I still have a lot to offer the game, in whatever capacity that may be.”
