The former Liverpool captain and former Rangers and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard could be in line to be the new Leeds United manager.

According to the Times, Leeds have four bosses under consideration for the job and have conducted interviews over the last two days.

Now Italian journalist Marco Conterio has stated that Gerrard is on that list after being sacked by Villa this season.

The Liverpool legend began his senior managerial career in Scotland with Rangers, where he averaged an impressive 2.15 points per game in 192 matches but never lived up to expectations in the Premier League.

With Premier League survival on the line, this would be a risky appointment by Leeds, but it is a challenge Gerrard would relish.
