Dietmar Hamann insists Steven Gerrard won't turn down the chance to become Liverpool's interim manager if Arne Slot is fired. Hamann played alongside Gerrard at Liverpool and won the Champions League together in 2005.

The German believes Gerrard wouldn't turn down the chance to become Liverpool's manager. If the situation ever arose where Liverpool needs a manager for a few months, Stevie won't turn it down." Despite viewing Gerrard as an ideal candidate for the job, he thinks Slot will remain as Liverpool's manager.

Hamann added: "I feel things are slowly coming together at Liverpool, so I don't think it will happen, but I'm pretty sure he'd (Gerrard) take the opportunity if it comes. I don't think he can turn it down." While Hamann can see Gerrard becoming Liverpool's manager one day, he doesn't think Jurgen Klopp, who coached the team between 2015 and 2024, will make an emotional return to Anfield.
