Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been impressed by former captain Steven Gerrard’s first steps into coaching and the 36-year-old is set to be rewarded by taking charge of a team of his own next season. <\/p>\n
The ex-England midfielder joined the club’s academy in February with a roving brief involving a number of youth teams.<\/p>\n
However, Gerrard has closely aligned himself with the under-18s side and is set to take over a more permanent role with them in the summer as part of a reshuffle promoted by under-21 coach Michael Beale’s move to Sao Paulo earlier this year. <\/p>\n
“There is not a real announcement in this moment, but what I can probably say is ‘yes’,” said Klopp when asked whether Gerrard was to become coach of a youth team.<\/p>\n
“He is doing a real job at the academy at the moment with his presence and everything, being around and giving advice and leading little or bigger sessions and all that stuff.<\/p>\n
“They all enjoy it a lot. He especially enjoys it a lot.<\/p>\n
“Yes, he will be the coach of a youth team next season, I’m pretty sure.<\/p>\n
“But we will tell you exactly which team when we want to tell you.”<\/p>\n
