Didi Hamann was shocked to hear of Steven Gerrard's plans to embark on a career in managing, but is fully supportive of his former teammate becoming the manager of Liverpool one day. Gerrard took over at Rangers in 2018 after spending a year in the Liverpool Academy and is now about to take on his first full season as Aston Villa boss.
Gerrard 's three years in Scotland led to great success after winning Rangers their first Scottish Premier League title in a decade. Bitter rivals Celtic were on a streak of nine in a row and the former Liverpool captain put a stop to that - much to the pleasure of the Rangers fans.
Hamann was a team-mate of Gerrard's for seven years at Anfield and won everything there is to be won together - apart from the Premier League title. Both players played a huge role in Liverpool securing their the club's fifth European Cup in that famous match in 2005.
