English football coach Steven Gerrard denied that Aston Villa was just a transfer station on his way to Liverpool. He played almost his entire career in “The Reds”.
“It’s unfair to describe it as a transfer station, I’ll never say it,” he said Gerrard during the first press conference as “Villans” coach: “I take it as an opportunity to be in the Premier League and to be close to my family.” Gerrard has been the coach of the Birmingham Club since last week, replacing Dean Smith after five losses in a row. The first match awaits him on Saturday (November 20) against Brighton, he will perform at Anfield on December 11.
Prior to his engagement in Glasgow, with which he won the championship after a decade, the legendary footballer worked for the Reds, where he coached youth teams. “Liverpool has a world-class coach in Jürgen Klopp. If he signed a lifetime contract now, I wouldn’t be surprised and wish it to him. “ said Villa’s new coach.
Forty-one-year-old Gerrard has been coaching the Glasgow Rangers since June 2018. He has had an almost exclusive playing career with FC Liverpool, where he has spent seventeen seasons and played a total of over 500 matches. With the club from Anfield, he won the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup, on the domestic scene he twice enjoyed a FA Cup triumph and three times the League Cup. He also has 114 national team starts and 21 goals.
