“I don’t welcome it” – Steven Gerrard strikes back against Jürgen Klopp’s rumors in Liverpool
Steven Gerrard admits he doesn’t welcome the speculation linking him to Jürgen Klopp’s replacement in Liverpool.
Entering her fourth season as head of Rangers, the Liverpool legend secured her first top division title in 10 years in March.
The former England international took on his first leadership role when he moved to Scotland in 2018 after working at the Reds’ Academy under Klopp.
The success of Gerrard’s team last season ended a prolonged period of dominance for Celtic, who were aiming for the tenth consecutive championship title at the beginning of last season.
But the way the 40-year-old resurrected the Glasgow giants in his first leadership position leaves many to speculate on whether he might succeed Klopp on Anfield Road in the future.
But when Gerrard was asked about the prospect of one day becoming Liverpool or even England boss, Gerrard quickly downplayed the ties.
“I cannot control media speculation about my position,” he told ESPN when asked about the links.
“I don’t welcome it, I’m not adding anything. I’m just focusing on the job I have here and I’m very flattered and grateful for the position.
“I’m very happy here, I’ve said it many times, it’s a huge club, I’m relaxed, I’m happy and can develop and try to push this team forward.”
