Bristol City is pursuing Steven Gerrard for their vacant manager position. This comes amid interest from Burnley, who are also eyeing him as a potential replacement for Scott Parker.
As of early Tuesday, Bristol City is managed by Roy Hodgson on an interim basis. The club currently sits 13th in the Championship, looking to improve its standing.
Gerrard has been out of work since leaving Al-Ettifaq in 2025. His last managerial role in England was with Aston Villa, which he departed in October 2022.
Gerrard previously led Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title before his stint in Saudi Arabia. He is eager to return to management soon.
Bristol City has proposed an attractive package to convince Gerrard to take the job. However, they face stiff competition from Burnley.
Funds raised at the upcoming LFC Foundation Gala Ball—where Gerrard will be a guest speaker—will support vital programs. Last season, the foundation helped over 145,000 people.
The expansion of Championship play-offs starting in the 2026/27 season adds another layer of urgency for clubs like Bristol City. They aim to secure a better position and possibly contend for promotion.
Gerrard’s decision could significantly impact both clubs’ futures in football management and development. The situation remains fluid as negotiations continue.
