Tottenham new manager: Ex-Liverpool captain in running amid Postecoglou sack latest
Tottenham could turn to a Liverpool legend to turn the tide in North London.
It is difficult to picture how things could be any better at Anfield at this moment in time.
In recent weeks, the Reds have clinched their 20th English league title, while Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have signed new contracts on Merseyside.
As a result, supporters will likely be feeling confident and already looking ahead to next season.
However, the same cannot be said for Tottenham, who Liverpool thrashed to confirm their Premier League title, with an Anfield legend now in the running to take over from Ange Postecoglou.

In the process, the Reds piled more misery on Tottenham and Postecoglou, who is expected to leave Spurs at the end of the season, regardless of whether the North London club win the UEFA Europa League [The Telegraph].
Therefore, Daniel Levy could soon be hunting for a new manager, and it appears Gerrard is in the mix.

Liverpool fans to wish Gerrard well at Tottenham
Gerrard is a true Liverpool great. Therefore, whatever the 44-year-old decides to do next, the Anfield faithful are unlikely to send him anything but positive messages.
Considering his connection to the Reds, many have assumed in the past that Gerrard would one day manage at Anfield, although it doesn’t appear as though there will be a need for that anytime soon.
If the legendary midfielder were to take over at Tottenham, it would perhaps be slightly weird at first.
However, Gerrard has already managed in the Premier League with Aston Villa. As a result, this could be a logical next step.
