The advice Jurgen Klopp gave Steven Gerrard before he left Liverpool.
Former Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has revealed the advice he got from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp before taking over at Rangers.
Gerrard departed Liverpool’s Academy to take up the reins at the Ibrox club back in May 2018 after Graeme Murty was fired.
Today marks three years since Gerrard was named Rangers boss, but his first two seasons at Ibrox ended in frustration as Celtic secured their eighth and ninth progressive league titles.
However, Gerrard’s side delivered an end to Celtic’s grasp on the league title back in March, when they were crowned Scottish Premiership champions after the Hoops could only muster a draw away to Dundee United.
The Gers currently are unbeaten at the summit of the Premiership, with 30 wins and six draws from their 36 league games so far this summer.
“I remember having a conversation with Jurgen about management before I even took this role – ‘what are some of the key things you can tell me? What can I take from you that will help me moving forward?’
“He always said to try and be as balanced as you can. Now I know exactly why he said that.
“I’ll be immensely proud of what we achieved, I’ll reset myself and do whatever I need to do in the background to try and make this group as strong and competitive as I can.

“I’m as ambitious as anyone connected to this club. I want to try and get this club Champions League football and to defend our title with our life, and I want to put the cup thing right as it doesn’t sit well with me.
“I want to come back in pre-season with a fair chance of being successful, that’s all I ask for. Hopefully, the board will support me on that and we go again.”
“I knew it was big but you educate yourself even more.
“You listen to ex-players, supporters, people who have worked at the training ground and Ibrox over many years, and you get more education in terms of the size and magnitude.
“I always knew it was an institution but when you go away on European games and are involved in Old Firms, and you’re sampling it for yourself, this club has really blown me away in terms of size and stature.”
