As Liverpool's season comes to an end, and their current manager Jurgen Klopp has made it clear that he will step down at the end of the season, so Liverpool is now in urgent need of finding his successor, according to some media reports, Bayer Leverkusen's Alonso, and Zinedine Zidane, who has been idle at home for a long time, are important targets for the team.
However, for many Liverpool fans, their managers for next season are not these two big-name managers, according to the "Goal newspaper", recently, LiveScore Bet conducted a survey of 2036 people to find out who fans want to be the next manager.
According to the survey, 41 per cent of fans would like to see Steven Gerrard at the helm, while Xavi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane are second and third with 18 per cent and 8 per cent of the vote respectively, followed by Graham Potter (6 per cent), Angie Postecoglou and Roberto De Zerbi (5 per cent each), Amorim and Julian Nagelsmann (4 per cent each), Hans Flick (3 per cent) and Luis Enrique (2 per cent).
This result is quite surprising, although as the greatest legendary player in Liverpool history, Gerrard has a strong appeal, and his support rate among Liverpool fans is undoubtedly super high, but to tell the truth, Gerrard's coaching ability is still very worrying.
Because from the perspective of his coaching career, the results are not very ideal, in the 2022-2023 season, Gerrard coached the Premier League's Aston Villa team, and only won 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at the beginning, and finally had no choice but to step down, and the former England international is currently in charge of the Saudi professional league team Dammam Cooperative team, which has 35 points from 28 games and is currently in ninth place.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Gerrard, whether it is coaching ability or coaching experience, is not enough to take the helm of a giant team like Liverpool, although many fans especially hope that Gerrard can coach Liverpool, but I believe that the team's management will definitely have their own judgment and sober awareness, and will not rashly choose this team legend, after all, good results are the most important thing for them.
