Jesse Marsch was sacked by Leeds United on Monday with the Elland Road side just one point outside the Premier League drop zone and Steven Gerrard is now being considered as the American’s replacement.
This update is courtesy of Tutto Mercato Web’s Marco Conterio, who claims Scouser joins West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan and Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou in being considered for the vacant role.
The Liverpool legend has been out of a job since October when he was sacked as Aston Villa manager after a poor start to the campaign with the Midlands outfit.

However, his managerial career turned into a success in Scotland, with the former England international guiding Glasgow Rangers to their first Premiership title in ten years and helping end Celtic’s period of supremacy that saw them win League Nine. years in a row.
Remaining in the top flight will be Leeds United’s priority this season after Marsch helped them avoid relegation to the Championship on the last day of the previous campaign.
Corberan is now unlikely to trade The Hawthorns for Elland Road after he signed a new contract with the Baggies until 2027 on Tuesday, while Postecoglou is enjoying another successful campaign at Celtic with the Parkhead side currently leading by nine points in the top of the table.
It would certainly be a risk for the Whites to name our former number 8 as their first manager, but this is certainly one to keep in mind.
