MK Dons job was 'too soon' admits Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard admits the offer to take over as MK Dons manager came “too soon” in his fledgling coaching career.
The Liverpool legend is weighing up his options after ending an 18-month stay with MLS side LA Galaxy in the United States.
It emerged last week Gerrard had held talks with League One side MK Dons over the vacant managerial role after Karl Robinson left the club.
However, the 36-year-old turned down the chance to take over and, speaking on BT Sport this evening, shed light on his decision.
“I'm just taking a bit of time to consider what's next, exciting times moving forward,” said Gerrard.
“I spoke to MK Dons. I had a chat with the chairman, it's a very exciting job for somebody else but it's a bit soon for me.
“But it's true, I did speak to them.”
Gerrard, who is now back on Merseyside, has received many offers from across Europe since it became clear that he would be leaving Galaxy.
He has also held talks with Liverpool about returning in a coaching capacity. He has previously worked at the Academy with the club's U16s and also with England U18s.
