An English football club has been urged to consider hiring Steven Gerrard, as the Liverpool legend seeks his next managerial opportunity.
Gerrard parted ways with Saudi club Al Ettifaq by mutual agreement in January, ending an 18-month tenure. He originally joined the Pro League team in July 2023 and had signed a contract extension in January 2024 to stay until 2027. However, he left after securing only five wins in 17 league games this season.
Despite being out of management for a few months, Gerrard has received support from Sky Sports EFL presenter David Prutton, who suggested he could take on a surprise role in England—potentially at West Brom.
Speaking to Football League World, Prutton said Gerrard could draw inspiration from Frank Lampard’s recent appointment at Coventry City, and noted that the Championship presents a valuable platform to build a solid managerial track record.
He added that while West Brom may face some player turnover and ownership expectations, the club could be a good fit for Gerrard’s profile. Prutton praised Gerrard’s humility, his connection with players, and his leadership qualities, suggesting it would be unwise to write off his coaching career based on recent setbacks.
Currently, West Brom are without a permanent manager after parting ways with Tony Mowbray earlier this month.
