Why Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard has decided he does not want to manage Rangers

Steven Gerrard's Decision Not to Manage Rangers

Legendary former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has opted not to return as Rangers manager.

Gerrard, who led Rangers to an undefeated league title in 2021, has seen his coaching career stall since his exit for Aston Villa.

After leaving Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq in January, Gerrard was considered for a return to Ibrox, three years after his departure.

However, following talks over the Rangers job, Gerrard has reportedly turned down the chance to move back to Glasgow.

The decision may come as a disappointment to fans, but Gerrard is keen to get his managerial career back on track.

Gerrard may still harbour hopes of one day returning to Anfield as Liverpool manager.

Rangers were looking to bounce back from a poor period under Russell Martin, making the timing seem right for Gerrard's return, but he has ultimately decided against it.
