The 45-year-old was quickly installed as the bookies’ favourite to take over at Burnley following the Clarets’ decision to part ways with Scott Parker last month.

While speculation linking the former Liverpool and England midfielder with the Turf Moor hotseat has been played down, he still remains top of the odds ahead of Brian Barry-Murphy and Craig Bellamy.

Gerrard has also been linked with the vacancy at Bristol City, while his name continues to be mentioned alongside his former side Rangers, who have suffered a poor end to the season under Danny Rohl.

It certainly appears Gerrard is primed for a return to the dugout, having remained out of work since leaving Saudi side Al-Ettifaq last year.

Speaking at a press conference to publicise the All Star Legends clash between Liverpool and Manchester United, which takes place in Malaysia in October, Gerrard said: “It’s a fantastic event in a couple of months’ time.

"I’m hoping to be available to come over to be a part of it.

"I should have a decision in two, three weeks.”
