Ex-Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is reportedly in surprise talks with the Poland national team and a potential link-up with Robert Lewandowski.
The former Ibrox gaffer is out of work after being sacked by Aston Villa earlier in the season and the latest suggests that a move to the Biało-czerwoni could be on the cards.
Poland are currently looking to replace former manager Czeslaw Michniewicz, whose contract was not renewed following the World Cup in Qatar.
Poland put in a valiant effort, getting knocked out in the last 16 via a 3-1 defeat to beaten finalists France, and Steven Gerrard could be the man to walk into the national team’s dugout.
At least that’s according to reports in Poland, appearing to originate in Meczyki, which suggest that Steven Gerrard is one of a number of names being linked to the role.
Roberto Martinez, Herve Renard, Vladimir Petković, Paulo Bento and Nenad Bjelica have all been linked from abroad, with Polish options Marek Papszun or Jan Urban also mentioned.
Ex-Rangers boss Steven Gerrard linked to Poland job
Ex-Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has such a monumental profile in world football that he’d certainly increase publicity around the Poland national team set-up.
The Liverpool and England legend is certainly respected around world football and a potential link-up with Poland talisman Robert Lewandowski is one to savour.
The 34-year-old – who joined Barcelona in a £42.5m deal from Bayern Munich last summer – captains the country but the likes of Piotr Zielinski (Napoli) and Arkadiusz Milik (Juventus) are also prominent options.
Steven Gerrard was manager of Rangers from the summer of 2018 until November 2021 with the Anfield legend famously securing 55 and stopping Celtic from securing 10IAR.
A polarising figure at Rangers due to the manner of his exit, Rangers fans are still indebted to the Scouser whose appointment was a cataclysmic moment in the history of the club.
Meanwhile, a bid of £4.1m has reportedly been launched by an Ibrox transfer rival.
