Gerrard linked with Burnley manager role

Steven Gerrard is reportedly in talks with Burnley to take over as manager following his departure from Al‑Ettifaq.

Burnley are said to be in discussions with Gerrard’s representatives, indicating a serious interest in hiring the former Liverpool captain as head coach. The club, which was relegated from the Premier League, hopes his experience will guide them back to top‑flight football.

Gerrard, 45, left Al‑Ettifaq in January 2025 and has since kept a low profile. While Bristol City has also shown interest, Burnley’s approach appears the most advanced, with the club signalling a green light for the former captain’s return to management. sportnewz.click
