Former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has explained the club's role in establishing his coaching career and says it was 'their idea' to sit him down and look at his next steps.
The 41-year-old called time on his Anfield career in 2015 and spent two further years in the MLS with LA Galaxy. Following his retirement in 2017, Gerrard returned to Merseyside and took up a coaching role in Liverpool's academy.
However, the ex-England international admitted it wasn't always clear he would become a manager and it wasn't until his late twenties he considered his options.
