Stephen Gerrard has admitted that he had countless managerial offers before finally deciding to join Scottish giants Rangers. Gerrard who was previously working with the Liverpool academy further claims that Rangers stature attracted him and made the decision to join them all the more easy.
I had the opportunity in League Two and League One and also the Championship and to be No.2s at Premier League level. I didn’t feel ready but I also didn’t get the right feeling in terms of what happens emotionally inside your body. But when Rangers came calling I was 15 months further down the line in terms of being on the pitch and planning and preparation that comes with coaching. I’ve also dealt with a group of players, albeit at a younger age, and then the size and magnitude of Rangers got the buzz and juices going,” he told Liverpool TV.
