Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has confirmed plans to enter coaching.

Gerrard is currently preparing for a second season with MLS giants LA Galaxy, who he joined from the Reds after announcing he was leaving Merseyside last summer.

He wrote in the Telegraph: "I am starting my UEFA 'A' license shortly and the Football Association are proving to be proactive and hugely encouraging in helping former players onto the coaching ladder.

"I was invited to meet the England Under 19 side earlier in the season and further opportunities are planned in future international breaks.

"I know players like Rio Ferdinand and Jamie Carragher have received similar invitations. It's something I'm keen to push further."
