However, it appears improbable that Jurgen Klopp will be replaced by a manager who was fired by Aston Villa last November when they were in 17th place. At least for the time being, Gerrard is ready to compete for his coaching credentials in the Championship.
After being fired from Aston Villa last October, Leicester is considering giving Gerrard a path back into management. He is also rumored to have spoken with Leeds.
Both teams are in crucial stages as they work to heal the wounds caused by Premier League relegation, and the Foxes' imminent departure is more severe. Youri Tielemans has signed a contract with Aston Villa, while sales of James Maddison and Harvey Barnes are anticipated.

The addition of a weathered Philippe Coutinho, initially on loan and then permanently, at least gave the idea that Gerrard could draw elite players some superficial validity, but the Brazilian was well past his prime.
And during Gerrard's whole tenure at Aston Villa, the same query persisted: What's the plan, Stevie?
Changing formations too frequently, relying too heavily on punts into the box, and taking too many long shots to the left
