Rangers assistant manager Michael Beale says he believes Steven Gerrard will become Liverpool manager one day- but thinks it won't happen for a while yet.
Gerrard, who won nine trophies in 17 years at Anfield, has been Rangers boss since 2018 and has generally impressed at Ibrox, leading some to speculate he could one day take the reigns at his former club.
With their current boss Jurgen Klopp a hugely popular figure amongst both players and fans at Liverpool, however, any move for Gerrard likely won't happen until the German decides to move on.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo about a potential future move to Anfield for Gerrard, Beale said: "We have not spoken about it. It's a compliment of course, but at this moment in time, Liverpool have the best manager for them.
"As a supporter of the club, Steven being a passionate supporter, we don't just support the first team, we follow it through to the U23s and 18s and we have watched some games together.
"We know what is going on at all the youth teams. He is the biggest Liverpool fan and at this moment in time, if he had to choose a manager, it would be Jurgen Klopp.
"I don't think Steven is looking too far ahead, it is a big job and obviously that is the dream - or rather, the aim - for him long term to manage the club.
"But I think Steven would say himself, right now, the best manager for Liverpool Football Club is Jurgen Klopp. Long may that continue."
Gerrard's Rangers are currently top of the Scottish Premiership, leading Celtic by two points as they attempt to win the title for the first time since 2011.
They are next in action when they travel to Hearts on Sunday 20 October.
