Steven Gerrard set for interesting new role at Liverpool next season

Posted by

Steven Gerrard is already being promoted at Liverpool, having joined the backroom staff at the beginning of this calendar year.

He currently has a flexible position working with various youth teams, but from 2017/18 onwards, he’ll take charge of the Under-18s full-time.

This is according to Dominic King in the Mail, among others.

He claims that Gerrard has impressed Jurgen Klopp mightily with his professionalism and work-ethic and the club see no reason why he can’t fly through the ranks.

It’s so far unsure what role Neil Critchley will play, the current Under-18 boss, but we can see Gerrard managing this group for a season before progressing to the Under-23s in 2018/19.

We’re glad Gerrard is learning the ropes at Liverpool and didn’t take the MK Dons job, which was offered to him in 2016.

This way, he can develop as a manager in his own time, and hopefully one day we’ll see him take the reigns – once Klopp’s added a few trophies to the cabinet!
