Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has been approached over the possibility of him becoming the new MK Dons manager.
The LA Galaxy midfielder, 36, is thought to be one of the names being considered to replace Karl Robinson by chairman Pete Winkelman.
Gerrard’s contract with the MLS side expires at the end of the current season and he’s already confirmed that he’s leaving the club.
While the former England captain has no managerial experience, the Dons have been known to give young coaches a chance.
Winkelman has given the recently departed Robinson, Chelsea’s Champions League winning boss Roberto Di Matteo and the 2008 double winning chief Paul Ince their big breaks in football management.
Gerrard would be the biggest of all the managers the Dons have had if he does indeed take the job
The former Liverpool star was contacted by the Milton Keynes side over the managerial vacancy, along with a number of other top names but is believed Gerrard becoming the next Dons manager is ‘unlikely’ at this stage, with a coaching role at his former club the more likely option.
Chelsea hero Frank Lampard, 38, was made favourite to take up the job yesterday after a flurry of bets but it seems he was not keen on the opportunity.
