Return postponed. Gerrard will not become Rangers manager

Some of Steven Gerrard’s most resounding coaching successes are directly linked to Rangers. Yet, when the time came, the Scottish club’s bosses didn’t seriously consider Stevie G for the job.

Details: According to Sky Sports, the former Al-Ettifaq coach did hold talks with the Rangers board, but he was never a priority candidate and is currently not being considered as a replacement for Philippe Clement.

Former Southampton manager Russell Martin and Davide Ancelotti, son of Carlo Ancelotti and his assistant at Real Madrid, are considered stronger contenders for the Ibrox job.

Reminder: The ex-Liverpool midfielder managed the team from 2018 to 2021. Under Gerrard, Rangers last lifted the Scottish title before he moved on to Aston Villa.
