Two midfielders who once represented England will be able to face each other as coaches in the English Championship (second division).

England's The Sun reported on the 8th (Korea time) that Stephen Gerrard is likely to take over as Frank Lampard's former club.

The Sun is the most likely candidate for Gerrard's post as Derby County manager. Derby County replaced Paul Warne. Looking for a new manager and Gerrard is most likely to be in charge of the team. Derby County is a club that Lampard and Wayne Rooney have gone through in recent years. Steve Cooper, Rob Edwards and Rooney were among the nominees.




Gerrard was replaced as Saudi Arabian club RT Park manager in January. He has been with the team for about 18 months since July 2023, but he was unable to keep his position due to poor performance. The next club for Gerrard is Derby County, which has fallen to the relegation zone in the second division. Since legends from the English Premier League (EPL) have passed through, the possibility of Gerrard's appointment is bound to be more likely.

Gerrard doesn't have many options either. Gerrard, who has been a successful leader at Rangers after serving as Liverpool Under-18 manager, has started to twist since his appointment at Aston Villa in the 2021-2022 season. He was replaced by Villa in the 2022-2023 season, and has since failed to rebound at RT Park, putting him in a difficult situation as a leader.

If Gerrard is appointed to the Derby count, he will also face Lampard as a manager. Lampard took over as Coventry City manager in November last year. Lampard, like Gerrard, struggled downhill in his leadership career, but showed a rebound at Coventry, who moved out of the bottom half and into 11th place.




Gerrard and Lampard are enormous legends, as shown in the records, with 186 goals and 155 assists in 710 Liverpool games and 211 goals and 142 assists in 648 Chelsea games, respectively, but the leadership showdown between the two was made in August 2022 by Gerrard's Aston Villa and Lampard's Everton. At the time, Villa won 2-1 and Gerrard laughed. However, the situation has changed at the present time, about two and a half years later. The two are more likely to face each other as coaches in the championship, not in the EPL.
