Steven Gerrard receives backing to become PSG manager after Aston Villa sacking

Liverpool hero Steven Gerrard has been bizarrely backed to become the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain despite his Aston Villa sacking just four months ago.

The former Rangers boss was jettisoned by the Midlands outfit back in October following a run of six defeats in 11 Premier League matches. Despite his title winning-heroics with Rangers, Gerrard was unable to inspire an upturn in fortunes at Villa Park.
