Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has admitted the reason he chose to explore a route into football management was because of missing the feeling of being a professional player.
The 41-year-old was a leader on the pitch throughout his Anfield career, setting the standard on the pitch each time he represented the club. Gerrard had a brief spell with LA Galaxy after leaving the Reds in 2015 and was then on a mission to fuel his passion for the game with a new approach.
He began coaching at the Liverpool Academy, overseeing the under-18s side before accepting a fresh challenge at Rangers in 2018. After proving himself in the Scottish Premiership, Aston Villa came calling late last year and are now testing his managerial abilities in a different kind of way.
