The Merseyside giants have announced that club legend and former skipper Steven Gerrard will take over as the manager of the club's Under-18 setup ahead of the 2017-18 season.
Gerrard, who has represented Liverpool 710 times throughout his illustrious career, stated that he likes streetwise players but says "too many try to model themselves on players like (Cristiano) Ronaldo."
The former English captain plans to help the "soft" youth players transition from the "comfort zone" of an academy to the professional ranks.
Academy is the grassroot level from where the young players can learn. We have seen many players with huge potential struggling to make a mark later in their career and Gerrard's experience as one of the top players from his generation can possibly change the scenario. At least, the fans who have backed their icon for years, will hope so.
