Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged Steven Gerrard to take a break from the game following an early-morning exchange in the wake of his Aston Villa sacking.
The former Rangers boss saw his spell as Villa Park boss come to an abrupt end when the club announced he would be leaving 11 months in charge less than an hour after his 10-man side went down 3-0 to newly promoted Fulham. With the club languishing in 17th in the Premier League table and facing a relegation scrap Villa chief Christian Purslow said the decision was based on an "evaluation of results and performances over the calendar year", with Gerrard managing just 13 wins.
However, Klopp reckons Gerrard is still destined for success having impressed during his time within the Liverpool academy structure and in the Scottish Premiership, where he took the league title back to Ibrox to end Celtic's dominant stretch. The German reckons that the Anfield legend must be patient over his next move and choose the right club.
