Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has expressed his regret over leaving the club in 2015 and missing out on the opportunity to work with Jurgen Klopp. <\/p>\n

Gerrard admits that he would have stayed at Liverpool if he had known Klopp was going to be the next manager. During his illustrious 17-year career at Anfield, Gerrard won numerous trophies, including the Champions League.<\/p>\n

However, his time at the club came to an emotional end when he decided to join MLS side LA Galaxy. The former Liverpool and England captain revealed that he was actually offered another contract by the Reds but chose to leave due to concerns about his game time under then-manager Brendan Rodgers.<\/p>\n

In hindsight, Gerrard says that he would have made a different decision if he had known Klopp was going to take over. In a video shared by The Anfield Wrap on TikTok (via the Mirror), Gerrard said: \u201cI was devastated. I obviously made a decision not to sign a year extension to go to America, whereas if I\u2019d have took the extension, I might have got six months under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut obviously being under Brendan\u2019s management at the time, I was told my game time was going to get less and less. I didn\u2019t want to be a sub for Liverpool, I didn\u2019t want to be a squad player.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"If I'd have known what was going to come off, 100 percent I'd have signed the year extension and I'd have put up with four or five months of Brendan to get six months of Klopp for sure."<\/p>\n

Gerrard even confessed he would have been a willing substitute under the German manager, adding: \u201cLet me tell you now, I\u2019d have been Jurgen Klopp\u2019s best sub because my style and his style how I played and what he was after from players in terms of pressing and going for teams and being aggressive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I could have given him that for 15-20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45, maybe once every couple of weeks. I could\u2019ve given him that for six months and beyond. I\u2019d have made myself give that.\u201d<\/p>\n

After leaving Merseyside, Gerrard spent a season-and-a-half with LA Galaxy before retiring from professional football. Since then, the 43-year-old has embarked on a coaching career, starting with a role in Liverpool's academy before moving to Rangers and winning the Scottish Premiership.<\/p>\n
