Steven Gerrard sent Derby County job advice as ex-Liverpool star issues verdict

Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has advised Steven Gerrard to consider managing Derby County or Wrexham for his next managerial role. Speaking to Eldorado, Heskey suggested that taking charge of an ambitious Championship club aiming for promotion would allow Gerrard to rebuild his managerial reputation, citing Frank Lampard's career trajectory as an example.

Gerrard, currently working as a pundit after departing Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, previously told Gary Neville that he has received inquiries from Championship clubs. The 46-year-old indicated he is open to managing in the second tier if the project aligns with his expectations.
