Gerrard expecting to work alongside Carragher at Liverpool

Steven Gerrard has stated that he expects to work with compatriot Jamie Carragher at Liverpool in the future.

Gerrard is in the final stages of his career and it is widely expected that the midfielder will be hanging up his boots following his time spent with MLS club LA Galaxy.

Now the 35-year-old has opened up regarding his plans when he does retire and is keen to one day team up with former Reds teammate Carragher in a coaching capacity at his beloved Liverpool.

In an exclusive interview with MR PORTER, he said: "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.

"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. Would I go for another role in the game if any offers [from Liverpool] didn't come my way? Yeah I would."
