Still no job offer for Stevie, but Gerrard “gets on very well” with Klopp

Posted by

Steven Gerrard has still not been contacted about a role with the club.

The legendary midfielder, who was the driving force behind our Champions League win in 2005, admits he is in the twilight of his career and is starting to think about his next move.

“At my age now, 36, I know I’m in the twilight, i know it’s coming to the end pretty soon. I just want to enjoy every last moment really,” he said (Echo).

All the signs are there that Gerrard will be brought back into the fold – Tom Werner even said last May that he saw the now 36-year-old as having an important place in the club’s future.

But alas, there is still no news from the most important man – Jurgen Klopp.

“Jurgen Klopp’s his own man, he’s got his own team of people around him that he’s very happy and content with.

“Of course I’ve got a huge Liverpool connection and Liverpool is in my heart and always will be but there’s nothing to really comment on. There’s no future decision to work with Klopp, I get on very well with him, we’re in contact but there’s no job opportunity there at the moment.”

It’s widely believed that Gerrard will hang up his boots in a couple of months once the MLS season ends and his 18-month LA Galaxy contract comes to an end.

His side are currently second in the MLS western conference, four points behind leaders Dallas. But given the bizarre MLS rules, in which 12 of the 20 sides qualify for the post-season playoffs, an MLS winners medal remains very much in reach.
