Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp states he would be thrilled if club legend Steven Gerrard was his eventual follower.
Previous Reds captain Gerrard returned to Anfield as an academy train in February and also in April he was called the supervisor of the U18s.
Klopp recommended Gerrard for the duty and has told The Times that he will certainly do all he can in order to help the 36-year-old, who will finish his UEFA A Permit this summer season.
“He was one of the world’s best footballers ever.
“We had him last winter when he had a break in the USA (from former club LA Galaxy) and he had a few sessions with us, a few shooting sessions, and I thought ‘what is that’?
“His shooting. Unbelievable.
“I told him when I leave, or the club sack me, I don’t care of course who’ll be my successor, but I’d love that he’d be it.
“I’ll do everything I can to make sure he gets all the information he needs.
