Steven Gerrard plays down Liverpool management suggestions

Legend Steven Gerrard says that having played for Liverpool doesn’t grant him a divine right to one day manage the club.

Liverpool are supporters are all fascinated with watching Gerrard at Rangers and with the former Red chasing down Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic, his first season as a first team manager isn’t short on excitement.

Yet, despite having played for Liverpool and having made a strong case to be considered as the finest player in the club’s history, Gerrard says he doesn’t expect to be given the manager role at the club one day purely because of how he performed as a player.

“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,” he told his former team-mate Jamie Carragher in an interview for The Telegraph.

“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.”
