Liverpool has confirmed that  Steven Gerrard will resume next month to take charge of the club’s academy. Recall that Gerrard was  tipped to join the Anfield coaching staff following his decision to leave LA Galaxy after 18 months with the MLS team .

The 36 – year old, who is expected to take up a fulltime role at the Reds’ Kirkby youth complex from February‎ made 710 appearances for Liverpool before joining the Galaxy in 2015.

Merseyside-born Gerrard spent 17 years with Liverpool having graduated from the academy, captaining his hometown team to Champions League glory in 2005 and FA Cup success a year later .

“It feels like completing the circle ; returning to the place where professionally it all began. However, this isn’t a decision based on emotion – it’s about what I can offer and contribute to Liverpool” Gerrard said .

“I don’t think I need to explain to people what this football club means to me, but when I knew coming back was a serious option I wanted to make sure it was a substantive role and a role in which I could really help the organisation. ”
