A survey revealed that Liverpool fans want club legend Steven Gerrard and not Zinedine Zidane or Ruben Amorim to replace Jurgen Klopp as coach.

The Reds have been in search of a new manager ever since Klopp made it public that he would quit the club at the end of the current season. They have been linked with several coaches in the past few months, with Sporting CP’s Amorim being considered the favourite to replace the outgoing German coach.

Reds fans have voiced their preference for the next head coach ahead of the 2024-25 season, and their top choice is none other than club legend Gerrard. A survey conducted by LiveScore Bet, which polled 2,036 individuals, unveiled the fans’ desires. Results indicated that 41% of respondents favored Gerrard taking the helm, with Xabi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane following closely behind at 18% and 8%, respectively. Graham Potter garnered 6% of the votes, while Ange Postecoglou and Roberto De Zerbi each secured 5%. Amorim and Julian Nagelsmann received 4% each, followed by Hansi Flick with 3% and Luis Enrique with 2%.

While Gerrard was once considered a potential future manager for Liverpool, his coaching performance in recent years has caused a significant decline in his reputation. The former England international currently manages Saudi Pro League team Al-Shabab, who are experiencing difficulties, currently occupying the ninth position with 35 points from 28 matches.

Klopp’s side will be next seen in action on Wednesday as they take on rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby in the Premier League.
