Gerrard regrets missing the chance to play under Klopp

Steven Gerrard

played over 700 games for

and he is considered as one of the greatest players in the club’s history. The ex-England international won nine trophies at Anfield and managed to score 186 goals and provide 143 assists. Gerrard departed from the Reds in 2015 and joined

to play one more season before announcing his retirement from football. The 40-year-old is currently the manager of the Scottish side

as they are marching toward their first league title in a decade. However, he still regrets his decision to turn down Liverpool’s last offer to extend his contract.

"Looking back now, I wish I would have signed the final one-year contract I was offered by Liverpool because I would have had the opportunity to maybe have a small period of playing under Jurgen Klopp,"

Gerrard told the 

Daily Mail

.

"There is a wee tad of regret - and I say wee because I'm up in Scotland. I had a fantastic journey at Liverpool and the highs that club took me to are memories I will never forget and will always cherish and I think about them every single day. 

"At the same time, I had some moments that I have tried to move on from in terms of brutal lows, but I don't want to always talk about the highs and lows. I want to look back on that journey with fondness because I lived my dream and I played for my local team and I achieved things I never dreamt of."

Asked about a possible return to Anfield as the team’s coach, Gerrard responded:

"I get asked that question a lot about Liverpool and I don't really want to get involved with it because it's not something for me to be concerned with,"

Gerrard added.

"I have got dreams of one day going down south and managing teams down there but I am in no rush, I haven't got a date or a time.

"They have got a fantastic, world-class manager, they are on a real wave of success and as a fan that is an unbelievable place to be in and I am really proud of the club and the efforts of the last couple of years and I'm loving seeing Liverpool where they are right now.

"I need to focus on the job I'm in now which is a fantastic opportunity for me and a huge job."
