Liverpool Academy Coach
Gerrard’s first job as manager was in January 2017 when he became Liverpool’s youth academy’s coach. Shortly after that, Gerrard took over Liverpool’s Under-18 side ahead of the 2017-18 season. He then went on to manage the Under-19 squad for the 2017-18 UEFA Youth League.
Rangers Football Club
Gerrard had signed a 4-year deal with Scottish club Rangers FC in May 2018, eventually agreeing to renew the contract until 2024 in 2019. The Englishman guided Rangers to their first win since 2012 over rivals Celtic in his very first season as manager. Under him, Rangers finished second in the 2018-19 as well as the 2019-20 season.
In his third season, Gerrard won his first title as a manager with the Rangers when he helped the club win the Scottish title for the first time in 10 years. Rangers won the trophy for the 55th time, finishing 25 points clear of their city rivals Celtic.

It was under Gerrard’s management that Rangers went without a loss for 12 matches in all competitions since the start of the season, finally getting beaten at the hands of rivals Celtic at the Old Firm derby. But in the 2020-21 season, Rangers under Gerrard were ruthless, winning games back-to back against Celtic and topping their Europa League group.
This along with being able to match-up with Celtic’s 107-year old clean sheet record under Gerrard is something Rangers fans would always be grateful for.
