Steven Gerrard, former Liverpool captain, has secured a permanent role with TNT Sports ahead of the new Premier League season. The 39-year-old, who retired from playing in 2016, will expand his punditry duties as the season kicks off. Gerrard, who left Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia last year, will focus on analyzing matches and providing expert commentary.
Gerrard’s career has seen a shift from management to media. He previously worked as an assistant manager for Rangers and Aston Villa alongside former Liverpool teammate Gary McAllister. Now, he is fully committed to his new role, which includes coverage of both the Premier League and Champions League.
Liverpool fans will be watching closely as the team prepares for the new season under new manager Andoni Zubizarreta. Former defender Jamie Carragher has raised concerns about the team’s midfield, calling it a “huge problem.” Gerrard’s insights may offer a different perspective on the challenges facing the club.
Gerrard’s transition reflects a broader trend of former players moving into media roles. His experience with Liverpool and his deep knowledge of the game position him well for this new chapter. The upcoming season will test both his new role and Liverpool’s ability to address key issues on the pitch.
