Steven Gerrard has admitted he is "nervous and anxious" about his imminent return to Liverpool as a youth coach.
As confirmed last week, the 36-year-old Anfield legend will take up a role as a full-time academy coach next month having been in discussions with his former club since his retirement from football late last year, per Andy Hunter in the Guardian.
Former England captain Gerrard said that, while he is nervous about returning to the club where he played for most of his career, he is eager to get started and is not simply going back to Liverpool for sentimental reasons, per BBC Sport:
With me and Liverpool there will always be an emotional pull.
