Capello’s Prescription for Gerrard’s Coaching Career…
Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool legend turned managerial marvel (or not), has found his coaching travails under the comedic microscope of his former England manager, Fabio Capello. Capello humorously hints that Stevie G took a plunge too far, too soon, by jumping into big club roles faster than you can say, “Anfield legend.”
It all started with Gerrard’s triumphant days at Rangers, where he delivered a trophy like a pizza—hot, fresh, and complete with an undefeated slice of the Scottish Premiership. But his hop south to Aston Villa fizzled quicker than a deflating football, ending in less than a year. Fast forward to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ettifaq, his magic wand of success wasn’t quite working, and Gerrard parted ways, no doubt with a treasure chest of lessons.
Capello, chuckling into his espresso, suggests Gerrard missed the golden opportunity to channel his inner Yoda at Liverpool’s academy longer. The Italian quips that Gerrard should have absorbed the art of coaching just like he absorbed the Premier League glory. As Gerrard bounces back, Capello remains convinced his old midfield maestro will eventually strike managerial gold (or at least silverware). Meanwhile, Gerrard remains a class act, grateful for his varied adventures and the plot twists football keeps writing for him.
