John Arne Riise believes former teammate Steven Gerrard will be the next Liverpool manager after Jurgen Klopp – but not just yet.
The Norwegian cult hero won the Champions League alongside Gerrard in 2005 and always knew “Stevie” would go on to become a success in management following his glittering playing career.
According to Radio Times, Riise spoke about Gerrard’s influence on Rangers’ first Scottish Premiership title victory in 2011. Riise has also been making steps into coaching in his native Norway and stated his desire to follow in the footsteps of Gerrard and manage in the UK.
Steven Gerrard is an English professional footballer born on 30 May 1980 in Whiston, England.
He is a midfielder who has played for English club Liverpool and the England national football team. Gerrard is regarded as one of the best midfielders to have ever played the game and is compared with the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Andrea Pirlo, and Roy Keane.
Gerrard was a complete midfielder, he could run box to box, make defensive tackles, take great shots and make aggressive runs, win headers, duals and lead by example. He was known for his leadership and influential qualities.
Steven’s presence was feared around the world because of his ability to bury the ball into the net from a breathtaking distance. Although he was right-footed, he was naturally capable of striking using both his feet. His aerial dominance was also pretty good making him a fierce opponent no matter which area of the pitch a player contests him.
Gerrard was a versatile player and has played a number of positions like a secondary striker, box to box midfielder, attacking midfielder, and defensive midfielder. He has also played as a right-back and on the flanks in his glittering career.

Whether Steven Gerrard wants to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool? While the 40-year-old admits he would love return to the Reds in the future, he has no desires on the job at this precise time and has issued a passionate defense of Klopp, interrupting interviewer Peter Smith to dismiss speculation about the German's future after he ended Liverpool's 30-year wait to be crowned English champions last season. "The Liverpool fans don't want me to be the manager of Liverpool Football Club," Gerrard told ITV News. "They want Jurgen Klopp to continue as manager and I am total with all of them. I wish you knew how much we loved Jurgen Klopp. "We have one of the best managers leading our club at the minute. I love him and we hope he stays for a few more years. I've got a job here, I don't think its helpful to talk about this - I hope Jurgen stays at Liverpool for many years. "Liverpool is my club. I had a fantastic journey as a player. I'm doing a completely different career path now. I'm happy in the job and role I'm in now. "Is it a dream for me to one day be the Liverpool manager? Yes, it is. But not yet and who's to say I'll ever be good enough? Who says I'll be the owners' choice? "There's a lot of managers on this planet who would all like the chance to manage Liverpool. |
