Liverpool star Steven Gerrard has confessed that managing his beloved club Liverpool is definitely on his agenda, ESPN reports.

The England international recently penned a new deal with the club which will keep him at Merseyside until 2o15. Gerrard even suggested that he may continue to play for the club even after 2015.

The 33-year-old made his debut for the Reds in 1998, and is currently ranked eight on the club’s all time appearance list, is looking forward to managing the club.

In an interview for TwentyFour 7 Football magazine, the Three Lions captain said:

“The dream come true would be to manage Liverpool, when the Liverpool job becomes available.

“There are world-class managers there ready already, but we’ll have to wait and see. It would be the icing on the cake.”

The midfielder has spent his entire career playing for the Scousers and recognized the need to think about his future.

After the retirement of fan favourite and vice-captain Jamie Carragher in May, Gerrard was bestowed with the title of the longest serving first-team squad player.

Gerrard added: “When you get to a certain age, my age, you need to start thinking seriously about a life after football.

“I am planning on doing my badges and qualifications over the next 12 months. I definitely see myself as a manager rather than a coach, but that could change.

“I remember speaking to Jamie Carragher and he really fancied it – but he’s decided media is what he wants to do. He can leave managing Liverpool to me!”

Gerrard is set to captain England in the World Cup qualifying match against Moldova on Friday.
