MY DREAM TO BOSS LIVERPOOL

-

I SOMETIMES allow my mind to wander and k ‘wouldn’t it be amazing to manage liverpool one day?’ righht now I can’t know be good enough or would even be asked o the job or any other work with the team in the future. first and foremost I’d have to feel confident I could be a suc- cessful manager. I would never take the job on the back of my name — or just because some fans would like me to step in.

I know that being manager of Liverpool is a huge job. It needs the right man with the right credential­s and knowhow. So for me, at the moment, it can’t be anything more than a ‘maybe’. All I can really say is that it is a lovely dream — but I simply have no idea if it will ever happen.

It’s still quite fun to fantasise a little. If, totally hypothetic­ally, I was going to become Liverpool manager one day I know who I’d love to have as my assistant: Xabi Alonso or Jamie Carragher.

I have completed and passed my ‘B’ licence and will now take a break while I concentrat­e on playing with LA Galaxy — and then crack on with my UEFA ‘A’ licence once I’m back in England for good.

The idea of becoming a manager one day is intriguing but I still really don’t know if it’s the road I will follow.
