Steven Gerrard will have to take the managerial job at Liverpool if it is eventually offered to him, according to the club's legendary striker Ian Rush.
Gerrard returned to the Premier League on Thursday after being unveiled as Aston Villa's new manager to succeed the sacked Dean Smith, six years after playing his last game for Liverpool.
Although there is no vacancy at Anfield and current boss Jurgen Klopp's continued success means an opening soon is unlikely, links have already been made to Gerrard eventually returning to the club where he starred between 1998 and 2015 and played over 700 matches.
