Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has criticised the theory that Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is using his first Premier League role as a stepping stone to Anfield.
Gerrard arrived in the English top-flight to take over from Dean Smith following his sacking at Villa Park. The former Reds captain previously managed Liverpool U18s before moving north to Rangers where he lead them to the Scottish Premiership in 2020.
There has been a growing consensus since the 42-year-old made his first steps in management that he would be in the Anfield dugout in the future. Many have tipped him to succeed Jurgen Klopp, however that will be put on hold after the German put pen-to-paper on a new contract in the summer.
