Steven Gerrard closing in on coaching badges, but hasn’t decided whether to retire

Posted by

Steven Gerrard has said he has still not made up his mind about whether or not to retire at the end of this season.

The Liverpool legend, who is currently playing for the LA Galaxy in the MLS, will become a free agent in a couple of MLS.

His LA Galaxy contract expires at the end of this season. There are only a couple of months remaining – the MLS playoff final is in early December.

“I’m wondering whether I should play on for a little bit longer or whether I should call it a day. I haven’t 100 per cent decided on that yet,” he said (Mirror)

“I still enjoy playing. I still love coming into training, I still love competing, so if I can carry on and there are opportunities to stay here or go somewhere else for another six months or 12 months then I’ll consider it.

“But if nothing comes up I’ll try and fly through the coaching badges and see what happens down that road.

“I’m around 60 percent through my A licence and I’m hoping to have that finished by the end of the year so we’ll go from there.”

He moved to the Galaxy in the summer of 2015 and after taking a few months to settle he has become one of their finest performers this season.

The Galaxy are currently third in the Western Conference. However, with 48 points on the board and with six of the ten sides in the group progressing to the playoffs, he looks certain to have a shot winning his first league title.
