And following the club's 2-1 win over West Brom on Saturday evening, which saw the Reds move up to second in the Premier League, charismatic manager Jurgen Klopp revealed that the iconic midfielder will always be welcomed to the club.
He is always so welcome at Liverpool FC. Absolutely no problem,� Klopp told reporters.
Nobody should be worried that there's no space for Steven Gerrard, everything will be fine, 100 percent.�
Since the midfielder departed, speculation has always been rife that Gerrard would one day return to the club, albeit in a non-playing capacity, and Klopp may be prepared to seal his triumphant return as one of his backroom staff.
