Steven Gerrard Regrets Leaving Rangers, Says Aston Villa Came Too Soon

His remarks signal a reassessment of a swift Premier League move prompted by doubts over Rangers’ plans.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Overlap podcast Thursday, Gerrard said he now wishes he had stayed longer at Rangers and that the jump to the Premier League was bigger than he expected.
  • He accepted full responsibility for his 2022 sacking at Aston Villa and said the aftermath left him feeling "useless" for months.
  • He said post-title talks at Rangers about recruitment and finances made him feel the club was not ready to push on, which shaped his decision to leave.
  • He called Alfredo Morelos the toughest player he managed at Ibrox and said he signed Jermain Defoe and Kemar Roofe to cover when discipline issues made Morelos unreliable.
  • The Daily Record reported talks earlier this season about a Rangers return collapsed, after which the club appointed Danny Rohl.
