Former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has emerged as a surprise candidate for the manager of Poland.
Since being sacked by Aston Villa in October, Steven Gerrard has been without a job in management. Despite much promise going into the job, a poor run of form to start the season saw him replaced by Unai Emery.
While he was able to disrupt Celtic's dominance in the Scottish Premiership, Aston Villa were never able to hit the heights expected of them, despite some high-profile signings arriving to Villa Park.
Steven Gerrard had been viewed as the long term successor to Jurgen Klopp, but since his disappointing period in charge of Aston Villa, that now looks like an unlikely destination.
Steven Gerrard Approached For Poland Position
It's unclear what Gerrard's next move in management would be, but reports have emerged that he has been approached the Polish Football Association for the role.
After exiting the World Cup at the last 16 to runners up France, Poland have been without a manager since Czeslaw Michniewicz was let go after their World Cup campaign. According to Polish outlet Meczyki , Gerrard is leading the race to become their next manager.
As they continue to search for a replacement to lead them into their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. In their group is Czech Republic, Albania, Faroe Islands and Moldova.
If he was to accept the role, he would be reunited with Aston Villa right back Matty Cash, who was one of the bright spark during his time in charge.
Steven Gerrard would also be managing one of the best strikers in world football in Robert Lewandowski, who is likely in his final qualifying campaign with his country.
Saudi Arabia manager Herve Renard has also been linked to the role after his team's performances in Qatar, which included one of the shocks of the tournament with victory over winners Argentina.
