Former Liverpool skipper said the he might still have been playing with the club if it offered him the chance to shadow Brendan Rodgers and learn about managing a team.
The 35-year-old who joined Los Angeles Galaxy after last season, said he would have been willing to accept a reduced role as a squad player or substitute and would not have rejected a new contract from the club if he had been offered a part-time coaching role before he announced he was leaving.
“Ability-wise, I could still play but physically I couldn’t play every game at my age,” Gerrard said.
“I didn’t enjoy being sub last season. I didn’t enjoy not knowing if I would be in the 11 or not.
