STEVEN GERRARD will win many more trophies in his career - but he will be in no rush to answer the call and return to Liverpool.

That’s the view of former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, the man who handed the national team’s captaincy to Gerrard in 2004.
Eriksson has watched his former captain lead Rangers back to the summit of Scottish football and European competition with pride.
And he is sure that Rangers' 55th title will be the first of many pieces of silverware accumulated throughout Gerrard’s stint in Scotland.
“For Steven as a manager, I am sure this is just the start of a lot of titles for him,” Eriksson told Sportsmail.
“It has been ten years since Rangers last won it so it’s a fantastic achievement. I send my congratulations to him.
“It’s a relatively new job for you as young man. You are very keen to test your own abilities against other people with more experience. You are so focused on the job and you work extremely hard.
“When that first title comes, when you get the reward you have been aiming for, it’s just great. A fantastic feeling.”
The topic of when Gerrard will inevitably return to Anfield has arose in recent weeks. Pressure has mounted on Jurgen Klopp due to a dismal run of form in the Premier League.
The German however has stated he is going nowhere and, that will be the same for Gerrard at Ibrox according to Eriksson.
“I can see him at Liverpool in the future," he added.
“Not tomorrow, but in the future. It would be logical to see him as Liverpool manager one day.

“There is no hurry, though. Not at all. Liverpool will always be there for him and Steven Gerrard has so many years to go in his career as a manager.
“Don’t hurry. Learn as much as possible before you go to the maximum point of football. Right now, he is at a very big club.”
