Steven Gerrard is open to reunion with Jamie Carragher at Liverpool

Come together

What a popular double coup this would be.

Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz best watch their backs as Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has indicated a desire to join up with former teammate Jamie Carragher in a coaching capacity at Anfield.

Buvac and Krawietz were the high-profile coaches brought along by Jurgen Klopp upon his appointment as Reds manager in October but Gerrard has made it plainly clear that he and Carragher are just a phonecall away and that he confidently anticipates both of them to work for Liverpool at some stage in the future.

Asked about a possible reunion with Carragher by men’s fashion brand MR PORTER, LA Galaxy’s Gerrard revealed that he will be available to listen to offers once he hangs up his boots.

“I’ve imagined it a lot. Jamie’s knowledge of the game is superb. I know the amount of time and effort he puts into the work that he does now, also how much he loved the game when I played with him,” Gerrard said.

“I think we’ll both work for the club again at some point during the rest of our lives. When that will be, I don’t know. Will that be together? I’m not sure.

“Would I work with Jamie Carragher again for Liverpool? Of course I would, without a doubt, but it’s for other people to make that decision. It goes without saying that the club’s in our hearts and it’s difficult if the club come calling but we’ve other things going on at the moment – it’s not as if we’re begging for it or desperate for it – but they know where we are.

“When I retire from football I am going to be available for people to offer me roles if they feel I’m one of the candidates.”
