In a chat with Daily Telegraph (UK), Gerrard said: “I’m not 100% sure but I think it will probably be my last year as a player. I have had a chat with Liverpool boss Jurge Klopp. The club have let me know they’re keen for me to come back.”

According to the midfielder, who made 710 appearances for Liverpool and 114 caps for England, he is still in love with the Anfield club.

“I am always going to be biased towards Liverpool and the FA and basically when I am back home I am going to carry on with my punditry work and try and move around clubs and gain more experience, going to watch managers and learning more.

“I am basically available from November, December 2016. Everyone in the football world will know I am available and hopefully I will be 75% into my coaching badges.”

The former England captain expressed disappointment that he is yet to bag a coaching certificate, but vowed to begin a coaching course as soon as possible.

“I have regrets I didn’t start my coaching badges at 21-22,” he said. “All that time wasted in hotels as an England player when I’ve been bored and was watching ‘The Office’ and ‘The Sopranos’.

“I wish I’d done my CBA (coaching) licence then so I’d be doing my pro-licence now.

“I had a meeting with the FA and said these players that are earning a certain amount of caps – don’t let them go away from the game, do more to keep them involved.”
