Steven Gerrard’s Managerial Career
After managing the youth at Liverpool Academy, Gerrard joined Rangers in 2018. In the 2020-21 season, Gerrard led Rangers through a record-breaking season, claiming back-to-back derby wins over rivals Celtic, and won the Scottish Premier League without losing a single game.
The successful season at Rangers attracted several clubs, and Premier League side Aston Villa managed to secure his services in 2021 after sacking Dean Smith. He led Villa to finish 14th in that season. However, Gerrard only managed to secure 2 wins out of the first 12 games played in the next season, which forced Villa to sack him.
Gerrard has been linked with multiple job roles like PSG and Trabzonspor but is yet to sign for a team.
