Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is staying at Ibrox until 2024.
Rangers gave fans a great piece of news on Friday, confirming that boss Steven Gerrard has committed his future to the Ibrox side until 2024.
The Gers have seen Gerrard fare well in management since giving him the job in 2018, even if he doesn’t have any silverware to show for it just yet.
He’s turned Rangers into title challengers again and has them into the knockout stages of the Europa League, so their progress is undoubted.
Now, Gerrard has signed a new five-year deal with Rangers, and it just happened to tie in to other manager news emerging down in England.
Liverpool announced on Friday that their boss Jurgen Klopp has also signed a new contract, staying at Anfield until…you guessed it, 2024.
The Reds will naturally be delighted that their world-class manager is staying for another few years, but some believe that this is all too much of a coincidence.
Gerrard is a Liverpool legend who has long been tipped as a future Reds boss, so he and Klopp signing identical deals on the same day seems like a nod to the future for many.
Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to suggest that Gerrard becoming Klopp’s replacement is now ‘nailed on’ after hearing the contract news, even believing that Liverpool have an ‘amazing plan’ in place to get Gerrard.
