Steven Gerrard has decided to back out of a prior commitment next week as rumors linking him to the Rangers job continue to swirl. The Gers are reportedly getting closer to naming their new manager, with speculation that a decision could be made by the end of the week. Alongside names like Davide Ancelotti, Russell Martin, Gary O’Neil, and Rob Edwards, Gerrard is being strongly considered for the position.
Reports have indicated that the Liverpool legend is the frontrunner for the job, with his previous experience as a manager giving him an edge over Ancelotti. Adding more fuel to the speculation, Gerrard has canceled an event with former teammate Djibril Cisse due to ‘professional reasons.’ This development is sure to spark further discussions among fans and pundits alike.
Not really sure why this matters, but Gerrard informed his social media followers about his inability to attend the event with Cisse. The former France striker expressed his disappointment but also showed his respect for Gerrard, highlighting their shared experience in Istanbul 20 years ago. Some Rangers fans are already interpreting this as a sign that Gerrard might be returning to the club, with one fan welcoming him back with open arms.
Maybe it’s just me, but this whole situation seems to be reaching a boiling point. The possibility of Gerrard taking over as Rangers’ new manager is becoming more and more likely, especially with his recent actions. The cancellation of the event with Cisse has only added more intrigue to the story, leaving fans eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the club. It’s unclear when exactly a decision will be made, but one thing is for sure – the Rangers faithful are excited at the prospect of Gerrard potentially leading the team once again.
