Steven Gerrard with the Scottish Premiership trophyFormer England boss Fabio Capello has backed Steven Gerrard to turn around his managerial career after learning from his past mistakes.Gerrard made a flying start to life in the dugout with Rangers, winning the Scottish Premiership in 2021 and building the squad which successor Gio van Bronckhorst took to the final of the Europa League 12 months later. Things have been tougher for him since, though.The former England midfielder took over at Aston Villa in November 2021 but lasted a little under a year with the Premier League side. His spell with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq didn't last much longer, and he left via mutual agreement in January 2025 after 18 months in charge.A return to Rangers has been touted, with former Gers star Ally McCoist suggesting Gerrard could be one of multiple front-runners. Barry Ferguson is currently in interim charge at Ibrox after Philippe Clement's departure, and made an impressive start in Europe with a 3-1 win away to Fenerbahce on Thursday.
