Steven Gerard has reportedly spoken with Liverpool about potentially replacing Jurgen Klopp in the future.
David Ornstein of the Athletic claimed the Reds legend and Rangers boss could come back to Anfield post the summer of 2024.
Jurgen Klopp signed a contract extension, keeping him at Liverpool for four-and-a-half more years and Gerard did the same at Rangers.
“It is no secret that Gerrard and many at the club would like him to manage Liverpool one day and, while it may never happen, the subject is understood to have been discussed informally by all parties,” Ornstein wrote.
“Gerrard is thought to be in regular contact with Klopp and Liverpool’s leadership.”
It is interesting to note the timing of the two manager’s contracts. Gerard has performed very well as an amateur manager for Rangers, meaning with no prior experience in coaching.
The Gers sit two points of the top of Scottish Premiership and have a strong shot at winning the title this term. Gerard will have ample time to grow as a manager in the next five years, hopefully finding his way to win trophies. It would be an ideal scenario if he can transfer that winning mentality to Liverpool and take over from Klopp.
