Gerrard after EPL audition

FORMER Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard insists the “madness” of Premier League management has not diminished his long-term goal to join the ranks of top coaches.

The 37-year-old’s fledgling coaching career has begun well having guided the Reds’ under-18 side to the top of the table and into the knockout stages of the UEFA Youth League.

Gerrard is under no illusions as to how big the step up to top-flight management is and there have been six sackings this season.
