Steven Gerrard 'approached' as Liverpool legend 'set to be offered' next job

The Polish Football Association are said to have "started talks" with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard over becoming the new manager of the Poland national side.

After exiting the World Cup in Qatar at the last-16 stage with a 3-1 loss against France, Poland decided not to renew the contract of Czeslaw Michniewicz.

Gerrard has been without a job since being relieved of his duties at Aston Villa in October following a poor start to the Premier League which saw fans turn against him at Villa Park.

Polish outlet Meczyki claim that the Poland Football Federation contacted Gerrard several days ago about taking over as their new manager. The 42-year-old is said to be currently considering the offer.

Poland are said to be considering a number of familiar names for the role. Former Everton boss Roberto Martinez was one of those linked to the job before he was confirmed as the new Portugal boss this week.

Other names to have been touted are Saudi Arabia manager Herve Renard, Vladimir Petković, Paulo Bento and Nenad Bjelica.

Liverpool legend Gerrard has long been linked with a return to Anfield as manager, although his time at Villa may have dented his hopes of potentially succeeding Jurgen Klopp. Gerrard's first managerial role saw him end Celtic's run of nine league title wins in a row when Rangers won the Scottish Premiership in 2021.
