Steven Gerrard has laughed off suggestions that he is eyeing up Jurgen Klopp’s job at Anfield.
Speaking in an open and honest interview with former team-mate Jamie Carragher for The Telegraph, Gerrard said that he is not thinking about an imminent Anfield return.
Liverpool have one of the best managers in the world and are flying high. Just because you have been a successful player does not mean you have the divine right to be next in the queue.
Just because you are popular with the fans it does not make you the right man to replace Klopp, if and when he goes. It is very presumptuous.
It is also disrespectful to Rangers given the size of this club and everything they have gone through to just assume I have come here to learn and use it as a stepping stone to Liverpool. I do not see it like that, although that talk is something I cannot control.
Murmurs of a move to Anfield when Klopp eventually moves on are already emerging as Gerrard impresses at Rangers.
After taking over at Rangers over the summer, the ex-Liverpool midfielder is earning admirers for the work he has done so far, both domestically and in the Europa League.
Rangers currently sit three points behind Celtic in the table but have played an extra game compared to Brendan Rodgers’ men.
While the title was not necessarily their ambition for this campaign, they are set to push Celtic all the way this season, with the Hoops finding themselves in a title race for the first time in a number of years.
