Former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard admits he is missing the "buzz" of football management after being axed by Aston Villa.
The 42-year-old has been out of work since last October when he was shown the door at Villa Park after a miserable run of form was compounded by a furious fan reaction after a thumping Premier League defeat to Fulham. The former England star made the move south of the border after a successful three-and-a-half years at Ibrox, bringing the Scottish Premiership title back to Govan in his final full season with the club and led Rangers to back-to-back runs to the Europa League.
Gerrard has been linked with a return to management, with with Polish national side reportedly keen on bringing the Liverpool icon in for their European qualifiers campaign. For now Gerrard is on punditry duties for BT Sports, and admitted he is missing the feeling of being in the dugout.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool's clash with Chelsea he said “I think when you’re around the pitch, in the stadium, you see the teams come in, you speak to Jurgen, you get that buzz of a feeling of a matchday. I don’t think I’ll ever lose that or not want to be involved in that. I am enjoying it at the moment being around my family, watching football. I’m enjoying being back here today stress free, but I think if you love the game and you’ve got it in your DNA you’re always going to miss it."
