Liverpool legend tipped to join Adam Lallana to steer Southampton's sinking ship | OneFootball

Steven Gerrard is an outside favourite for Southampton's vacant coaching role but the presence of former Liverpool teammate Adam Lallana as assistant can entice him into the challenging role.

Without a doubt, Southampton have been miserable but don't you think the club has been shockingly surprising lately? Still, needless to say, it's been for the worse.

Their ongoing managerial chaos is its best example.

No, no way I’m questioning Juric’s sacking but the club's bafflingly casual approach toward their top target, Danny Rohl.

Notably, Rohl has been their foremost managerial choice for around 3 months yet the club hasn't taken action for his appointment. And the result? Leipzig now compete with Southampton for Rohl's services.

But maybe this is Southampton's way of thinking beyond Championship boss Danny Rohl. After all, they have been linked with a more compelling profile in Frank Lampard recently.

Well, surprisingly he's not the only one as Southampton senses new links to another Premier League icon.

Alright, let’s not keep the suspense, it’s Liverpool great Steven Gerrard.

As per TBR Football, Gerrard has emerged as another managerial option Southampton could consider amidst their appointment hunt.

But one may wonder, why Gerrard’s being tipped for the Saints job given he hasn't managed in a while now. If this is you, let's see why.

Steven Gerrard-Lallana duo to bring back Southampton's glory days

First and foremost, Gerrard brings substantial Premier League pedigree, both as a former player and a manager. Yet, that doesn't differentiate him from Lampard.

What sets him apart, though, is his bond with Adam Lallana. Now, in case you don't know Lallana has been made Southampton's assistant manager. Well, just imagine if his former teammate Steven Gerrard comes as the new Saints boss.

With shared history at Liverpool, the duo’s familiarity could spark a rejuvenating dynamic, something a youthful Southampton side desperately needs.

Well, put together, Gerrard feels like a top candidate for the Saints role. One who not only can deliver Championship results but might just guide Southampton back to Premier League glory.

Still, will Gerrard’s name end up on the St. Mary’s touchline or it's just another whisper in Southampton’s ever-growing rumour mill? We'll see.
