It was always going to be a shock if Steven Gerrard decided to become the manager of MK Dons, especially so soon after leaving America.
The Liverpool legend has, in fact, turned down the offer, triggering further speculation over his next move.
While discussing his reasoning behind rejecting the role, he told BT Sport, via the Guardian: “I’m just taking a bit of time to consider what’s next, exciting times moving forward.”
“I spoke to MK Dons. I had a chat with the chairman, it’s a very exciting job for somebody else but it’s a bit soon for me. But it’s true, I did speak to them.”
