Steven Gerrard next club odds: MLS sides lead way as Liverpool and England jobs trail Rangers, Leicester 10/1
STEVEN GERRARD looks more likely to head to the MLS for his next managerial role.
That’s the view of bookmakers Ladbrokes, who price two of America’s big hitters at the top of the betting for Gerrard’s next move.

The Liverpool legend has been out of the dugout since his sacking at Aston Villa in October last year.
He lost almost half of his games in charge of the English Premiership club after joining from Rangers in November 2021.
He’d quit the Glasgow side midway through the season following the club’s historic title win in 2021.
But after just one trophy from a possible nine north of the border and a disappointing spell in the Midlands despite heavy backing, it has proved difficult for the 42-year-old to find a route back in that suits.
A lack of managerial experience saw him snubbed as Poland manager earlier this year, while he was forced to deny being in talks with Trabzonspor about a job there earlier this month.
He’ll return to punditry duties this weekend when teaming up with Channel 4 to work on England’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.

But ultimately, a job in the managerial seat looks still to be one the former England star has his eyes on.
And the MLS could prove a good opportunity, with David Beckham’s Inter Miami leading the way at 3/1.
Phil Neville signed a contract extension towards the back end of last year, with league rivals and Gerrard’s former side LA Galaxy just behind at 4/1.
A return to Rangers comes next at 5/1, with Michael Beale having only recently replaced the sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst there.
He could replace old mentor Brendan Rodgers at Leicester and is 10/1 to make the Foxes his next role, with a hugely-anticipated return to Liverpool not far off at 12/1.
Taking on the England job is the same price, with West Ham (16/1), old foes Everton (20/1) and Tottenham (25/1) all at bigger prices.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Steven Gerrard is no stranger to the MLS, and the latest odds suggest his next managerial move could take him across the pond.
“Failing that, he might well be keeping one eye on things north of the border, with an Ibrox return potentially on the cards.”
