Of course!” — Club legend opens up about his dream to take charge as Liverpool manager

Steven Gerrard has revealed that managing Liverpool FC one day would be a dream come true for him.

The former England national football team midfielder is widely regarded as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players. However, his journey in management has been mixed so far.

While he enjoyed success during his time at Rangers FC, his spells with Aston Villa and Al Ettifaq have been less convincing, raising doubts about his chances of landing a top role like Liverpool in the near future.

Speaking on The Overlap, Gerrard emphasized that his bond with Liverpool remains strong—perhaps even stronger since leaving the club. When asked by former teammate Jamie

Carragher about his ambitions, he admitted that managing Liverpool is something he would love to do in the future, describing it as a dream. However, he also acknowledged that he may not yet be ready to take on such a role for a sustained period.

Gerrard also hinted that he could consider returning to Liverpool in a different capacity, such as an assistant manager, depending on the circumstances and who is in charge.

As for Liverpool’s managerial situation, Gerrard is unlikely to be appointed anytime soon. There is growing speculation that current manager Arne Slot could come under pressure after an underwhelming season. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso has been linked with the role, though concerns reportedly remain about his tactical approach, particularly his preference for a back-three system.

With uncertainty surrounding the future, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will make a managerial change this summer and who could emerge as a serious candidate.
