Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard Breaks Silence on Rangers Job Decision

Steven Gerrard cited family commitments in Bahrain and timing as reasons for declining the Rangers managerial role, emphasizing the need to be 100% ready for the challenge.

  • Last month, Steven Gerrard stepped away from a near-return to Rangers Football Club after several rounds of talks with Ibrox executives Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe.
  • Citing family commitments, Steven Gerrard said talks 'felt a bit rushed' because his family were in Bahrain and he was not 100% ready due to the timing.
  • The Liverpool legend previously won Rangers the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership title at Ibrox Stadium, and bookmakers suspended betting when his expected appointment collapsed.
  • The club moved quickly to fill the vacancy with Danny Rohl following Steven Gerrard's decision, appointing Rohl just over a week after Kevin Muscat withdrew.
  • Despite walking away, Steven Gerrard left the door open to a future return and remains hopeful of managing Rangers Football Club again after coming close last month.
