Gerrard wants to end footballing career at Liverpool

Steve Gerrard has reiterated his loyalty to the cause stating that he would like to remain at Liverpool after he retires from playing as he explained on Liverpoolfc.tv:

"I'm always thinking about what I'll do after football. I know what the manager said in the summer but even before that it's always been my idea to stay involved with this football club for as long as I can. "I've been here since I was eight years of age and it would be wonderful to think I could still be here after hanging up my boots. Whether that'd be in a managerial or coaching capacity I'm not sure. "Of course, I'm still only 25 and the end of my playing career is still a long way off but the future is something that is constantly on my mind. Whatever happens I hope it is something linked Liverpool."

Gerrard has hinted that he would like to become a manager. If he does he will put into practice a combination of the best bits he has learnt from his managers and coaches at Liverpool:

"I learn things from the manager and coaching staff at Melwood every day and if I did ever become a boss then they'd influence me greatly, as would all the other fantastic manager's and coaches I have worked under. My ideas and tactics would be based on theirs," he says.

With Gerrard now fully committed the transfer speculation is now a thing of the past and he can concentrate on becoming the best midfielder in the world.
