Steven George Gerrard MBE (born 30 May 1980) is an English professional football manager and former player who manages Scottish Premiership club Rangers.
He spent the majority of his playing career as a central midfielder for Liverpool, with most of that time spent as club captain, as well as captaining the England national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time,
Gerrard was awarded the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award in 2005, and the Ballon d'Or Bronze Award. In 2009, Zinedine Zidane and Pelé said that they considered Gerrard to be the best footballer in the world.
Steven Gerrard taught Jermain Defoe a thing or two about management when he asked him to pick the team to face Real Madrid in a friendly, the former Ibrox striker has revealed.
Defoe is keen to move into management after hanging up his boots last year having watched many of his former England teammates such as Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard make the step with mixed fortunes.
He worked under Gerrard as a player-coach at Rangers and cut his teeth on the coaching side of things before leaving to play for Sunderland after Gio van Bronckhorst was brought in to replace him.
39-year-old Defoe is now fully retired and focused on coaching and works in the Spurs youth set-up under Yaya Toure after calling it a day on his playing career almost 12 months ago.
