Steven Gerrard’s Anfield Appearance Fuels Speculation Amid Rangers Managerial Search.
Steven Gerrard, the former Rangers and Liverpool manager, was recently spotted at Anfield, reigniting speculation about his potential return to the managerial role at Rangers Football Club. Gerrard’s presence at the stadium comes at a time when Rangers are actively seeking a new manager following Barry Ferguson’s interim tenure.
Gerrard, who led Rangers to their 55th Scottish Premiership title in the 2020/21 season, has been linked with a return to Ibrox. His recent withdrawal from an exhibition match for “professional reasons” further fueled rumors about his potential reappointment.
Despite the mounting speculation, Gerrard has attempted to quell the rumors by posting a video from the Four Seasons Hotel in Bahrain, indicating that he is not currently in Scotland. He has been residing in Bahrain since his departure from Saudi club Al-Ettifaq earlier in 2024.
Other candidates reportedly under consideration for the Rangers managerial position include Real Madrid assistant Davide Ancelotti and former Rangers player Russell Martin. Ancelotti is said to be close to accepting the role, while Martin has been linked with the Leicester City job.
As Rangers prepare for the upcoming season, including crucial Champions League qualifiers scheduled for July, the club’s leadership is expected to make a decision on the new manager imminently. Gerrard’s recent appearance at Anfield adds an intriguing layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding his potential return to Ibrox.
