Steven Gerrard has admitted it is a ‘dream’ to someday manage Liverpool.
Gerrard clinched his first trophy since becoming a coach last weekend by steering Rangers to their first Scottish Premiership triumph for over a decade.
Prior to taking the reins at Ibrox in April 2018, the 40-year-old spent 15 months worked within the Reds’ academy as manager of their under-18 side.
And Gerrard made no secret of his ambition for a return to his boyhood club despite insisting that he has no desire to succeed Jurgen Klopp anytime soon.
“Liverpool is my club,” he told ITV.
“I had a great journey. Is it a dream for me to one day be the Liverpool manager? Yes, it is, but not yet and who’s to say I’ll ever be good enough.
“There’s a lot of fantastic managers that would all like the chance to manage Liverpool. We need to respect Jurgen first and foremost.”
He added: “The Liverpool fans don’t want me to be the manager of Liverpool Football Club.
“They want Jurgen Klopp to continue to be the Liverpool manager – and I’m totally with all of them.
“We shouldn’t talk about this, we have one of the best managers leading our club at the minute, I love him.
“I hope he stays for a few more years. But I’ve got a job here. I don’t think it’s helpful to talk about this and I hope Jurgen stays at Liverpool for many years.”
