Steven Gerrard's management motivator as Rangers spell can't save him from brutal former teammate 'failure' verdict

Steven Gerrard has been told that his underachievement with England's golden generation may be fuelling his ambitions as a boss.

The Liverpool legend took the plunge into the dugout in 2018 when walking through the doors at Rangers, achieving Europa League progress and winning the Premiership in 2021. That earned him a crack at the English Premier League at Aston Villa but he lasted less than a year and was fired earlier this campaign.

Former England teammate Kieron Dyer played with the midfield great and reckons his and his teammates inability to bring glory to their nation is what inspires their wishes as gaffers. He explained to The Mirror: "The wives get fed up of us being around the house, there’s only so much time you can do at the house and there's only so many reality TV shows you can do. Are all these players you talked are comfortable? Yes. I've always been competitive, always wanted those juices to get flowing and playing golf with my mates is not going to do that. When it’s the Saturday and trying to get a result or get players contracts and that's when the juices flow.
