The Dutchman spent six years playing alongside the midfielder at Liverpool and believes he has what it takes to be a success at Rangers
Steven Gerrard has all the attributes to be a great manager, according to his former Liverpool team-mate Dirk Kuyt.
Gerrard is preparing to make his first move into senior management after agreeing earlier this month to become the next Rangers boss.
The former England captain will leave his role at Liverpool's academy after only one season and officially take over at Ibrox from June 1.
And Kuyt, who spent six years playing alongside Gerrard at Liverpool, has no doubts that he will enjoy the same level of success as a manager that he did as a player.
