Steven Gerrard completed a big comeback to the Premier League last week when he left Glasgow Rangers and was appointed Aston Villa’s new coach. The legend of Liverpool and the England team, who replaced Dean Smith, who has since been appointed coach of Norwich, was interviewed on the club’s website for the first time in the new role and told about the behind-the-scenes happenings of the move and looked forward to the meeting at Anfield against the mythical ex on 11/12.
“I love challenges and risks, it’s an iconic club that I know well from the outside, and now I’m excited to make connections within it as well,” Gerard said. After leaving the Rangers, the coach added how fast the move from the Scottish champions was: “It was crazy, very fast. I found out about their interest on Wednesday (a day before the appointment became official) and when they called me I wanted it to happen very quickly because it’s a big opportunity Too much to refuse her. “
Gerard replaced Dean Smith, who was disappointed at the start of the season and was sacked after about three years at the club. “Thanks to the success and connection to the locals he has had, it will be difficult to get into his shoes,” Gerard said of his predecessor in office, “I have a lot of appreciation for him.”
Along with Gerrard’s debut game this coming Saturday against Brighton, England have already marked in the diaries December 11th, so Gerrard and his team will be hosted by Liverpool, his mythical ex. “We will not be able to control the noise around this game,” the former midfielder told the Anfield comeback.
