Liverpool legend Gerrard in running for managerial return as sack news confirmed
Steven Gerrard could make a surprising return to the dugout with his next move potentially coming sooner than expected.
The Liverpool legend hasn’t held a managerial role since January 2025, when he left Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.
After a successful first stint in management with Rangers, where he led them to a league title, things haven’t been easy for Gerrard, but that could be about to change.

Liverpool have been ruthless in the transfer market this summer, already securing three of their top targets before pre-season begins.

It’s a brilliant time to be a Reds supporter, with the club showing ambition in the transfer market – something many rival fans can only wish for.
