Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp once claimed that Steven Gerrard will "definitely" be in the Anfield hot seat one day, but that day seems further away than ever at the moment.
The former Reds midfielder was sacked from his post as Aston Villa manager less than 12 months after he took the reins at Villa Park. Gerrard leaves the Midlands-based club languishing as low as 17th in the Premier League table with just two wins from their last 10 contests.
The nail in the coffin proved to be Thursday night's 3-0 drubbing away at Fulham, with the Villa board wasting precious little time in announcing Gerrard's departure around 90 minutes after the full-time whistle had been blown at Craven Cottage.
