Former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has been pinpointed as a possible managerial target for Olympiacos, according to reports.

The Greek club are currently sitting third in the Super League and are on the hunt for their fourth boss of the current campaign.

Greek outlet Sport FM claims Ibrox hero Rino Gattuso is the now Olympiacos' first choice, but they also report that Gerrard could be eyed for the position as an alternative.

The Liverpool legend has been out of work since he was sacked by Aston Villa in November last year.

He has since been linked with international and club positions, but Gerrard is yet to take on any offers.

On his recent situation, Gerrard told The Manager Magazine: "You have to reset, wait and be patient for the fire and fight to return.

"I’ve been offered opportunities to manage at club and international level since I left Villa, including an exciting opportunity in an overseas league, but none have been right for me at this time."

Gerrard also reflected on his time at Rangers and admits his connection with the club was the perfect relationship.

He continued: "As soon as I came off the call with Rangers I knew it was the right club culture for me. I immediately felt wanted and I saw the potential for me to have a genuine connection with the supporters. I’ve always been game for those types of risks and I knew that if I could forge good relationships with the supporters, the players and my coaching team then we had huge potential to be successful.

"You don’t accomplish anything by yourself, so humility and working with everyone in the club, both on and off the pitch, is incredibly important. “I knew that the chairman, Dave King, had my back, that we would work well together and that he would be there to guide me as a young manager should I need it.

"He fully understood the situation the club was in, but we put in place a plan together, we met regularly and knew there needed to be clarity and alignment from top to bottom, with everybody pulling in the same direction.

"When you achieve anything, though, it’s a process, a journey, and no matter what anyone says, it’s never about just one individual. I, and everyone in my coaching staff, played our part in achieving Rangers’ 55th title.

“Understandably, people often fear change, so it’s really important to be able to communicate your ideas clearly. During any period of change within football there are difficult conversations to be had, for example, when you have to tell players they aren’t part of the squad moving forward.

"I then had the challenge of going out and convincing players we targeted that Rangers was the football club for them, and that they could improve the team and keep taking the club forward. There were times when I had to take criticism, pressure and responsibility on my own shoulders to protect my staff and my players.”
