However, these rumors appear to be unfounded, and Gerrard is unlikely to take the reins at Leeds. According to reports, Gerrard was previously considered for the Middlesbrough job but was passed over in favor of Kim Hellberg.

Gerrard's current situation is complicated by a contract clause that requires him to repay 45% of his earnings from his 18-month stint at Al-Ettifaq if he takes a job in the UK before April. This may influence his decision to wait until the end of the season to accept a new role.

Gerrard has experience as both a player and manager, having led Al-Ettifaq to the Scottish Premiership title in 2021. Despite his recent struggles at Aston Villa, he remains a sought-after candidate for Premier League jobs.

Despite the pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot, it's unlikely that Gerrard will be hired by the Reds. Gerrard lacks the necessary experience and the team is unlikely to make any significant changes in the near future.
