Steven Gerrard has appeared on television screens around the world as he starred in a Hyundai World Cup TV ad.

The motor company launched its global sustainability campaign under the banner 'Goal of the Century'. The campaign kicked off on Earth Day on April 22, and will run through and beyond the current FIFA World Cup.

As part of the global launch, Hyundai Motor released a manifesto film and global TV commercial featuring former Rangers manager Gerrard and global pop sensation BTS, sharing the company's ambition to unite humanity through football and encourage universal support for a sustainable future. 

The appearance was Gerrard's first TV appearance since his sacking from Aston Villa last month.

The Liverpool legend was dismissed after a poor start to the Premier League season and he is now on the hunt for a managerial position.

Gerrard has been linked with a number of Championship jobs and he also was labelled an outsider for a Rangers return when Giovanni van Bronckhorst was sacked.

His former assistant Michael Beale was the man who the Ibrox board opted for and he was quick to hail the Liverpool legend as “a huge influence” on his career.

The 42-year-old Londoner worked as an assistant coach under the former England and Liverpool captain for three and a half years at Ibrox and then for another six months at Aston Villa before he branched out on his own to take the reins at QPR in June.

“Steven’s been a huge influence on me as a person because he has very high standards as a person, very high morals,” he said as he was unveiled to the media for the first time at Ibrox on Thursday.

“The three and a half years I worked with him here has enabled me to be sat in a position like this. He brought me on a lot in terms of management and leadership.

“I think I added a different part to his management team in terms of the coaching on the pitch.”
