Gerrard beware – great players don’t always make great managers

Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt says Steven Gerrard was the greatest player he ever lined up with – and he’s under the misapprehension that will guarantee he’ll be a successful manager.

Gerrard has accepted the task of reviving Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and Kuyt believes his former teammate’s playing ability will stand him in good stead at Ibrox.

“Steven Gerrard is the greatest I have ever played with in my life,” said Kuyt.

“I have learnt so much from him. He is an absolute icon – and I am sure he is going to be a great manager too.
