Steven Gerrard admits MK Dons job offer came too soon as he mulls decision over his future
Liverpool legend left LA Galaxy this year, and was offered an immediate route into management
STEVEN GERRARD has admitted that the MK Dons job came “a bit too soon” for him.
The 36-year-old midfielder is leaving LA Galaxy after spending two years in the MLS.
Liverpool legend and former England captain Gerrard had been approached by the League One side to become their new manager.
MK sacked long-serving boss Karl Robinson and held talks with Stevie G and his advisors earlier this month about replacing his fellow Scouser.
Gerrard, who was a guest on BT Sport on Wednesday night, revealed: “I spoke to them and had a chat with the chairman. It’s a very exciting job for someone else.
“It’s a bit soon for me, but it is true I spoke with them.”
Gerrard has also been linked with Celtic and Newcastle in recent weeks as well as a return to Anfield in a coaching capacity with the club’s academy.
However, the Kop icon insists he is happy to take his time over his next move.
“I’m just taking a bit of time to consider what’s next. It’s exciting times moving forward.”
