Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard dismisses reports linking him with a coaching role at the club.

Steven Gerrard has insisted that there is "no job opportunity" for him at Liverpool amid rumours linking him with a coaching role.

The Reds legend left Anfield for MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy in 2015 and with just six months remaining on his contract, speculation has been rife that he will return to the club he joined as a seven-year-old.

"People need to understand that Jurgen Klopp is his own man, he's got his own team of people around him, that he is very happy and content with," Gerrard told Sky Sports News.

"Of course I've got a huge Liverpool connection and Liverpool is in my heart and always will be but there's nothing to really comment on.

"There's no future decision to work with Klopp. I get on really well with him, we're in contact but there's no job opportunity there at the moment."

The 36-year-old went on to admit that he is in "the twilight" of his playing career and will make the decision to hang up his boots "pretty soon".

"There is absolutely nothing to say on my future beyond this MLS season at the moment," he added. "I know I'm in the twilight, I know I'm coming to the end pretty soon.

"I just want to try and enjoy every last moment really. The one thing I'm going to miss [is] walking on to the pitch. I'm going to miss that buzz very much because that's what I play the game for."

At the midpoint of the season, Gerrard's Galaxy side currently sit third in the Western Conference.
