Gerrard Could Make English Football Return This Summer

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is reportedly a leading candidate for the Burnley managerial role should the club decide to part ways with Scott Parker, according to The Sun. The Clarets have already been relegated from the Premier League under Parker, who ironically guided them to promotion just a year ago. While no final decision has been made at Turf Moor, Gerrard is considered one of the frontrunners to take over if Parker departs. The former England international is eager to return to management, and such an opportunity would likely appeal to him, The Sun adds. The 45-year-old Gerrard has been out of work since January 2025, when he was dismissed by Saudi club Al-Ettifaq.
