It might not be the Anfield dugout, but Steven Gerrard’s latest appearance in Liverpool colours is sure to catch the attention of fans everywhere.
The former Reds captain stars in the club’s official Christmas campaign — a move that feels perfectly timed, coming just weeks after he reportedly turned down a return to management with Rangers.
In a short video shared by @LFCRetail on X, Gerrard is seen walking down a corridor toward a Christmas tree, holding a young child dressed in a Liverpool kit with the iconic No.8 on the back. It’s a brief but nostalgic moment that immediately brings back memories of his playing days for supporters.
The clip promotes Liverpool FC’s new Christmas Shop, which also features Virgil van Dijk, Fuka Nagano and Florian Wirtz. Yet, Gerrard’s inclusion stands out — not least because of his long-standing relationship with Adidas and the fact he’s currently without a club.
His recent decision to reject Rangers’ “emotional offer” was viewed as a sign that the 45-year-old is in no rush to jump back into management, instead waiting for the “right project.”
And with this reappearance in Liverpool’s official media, speculation about a possible future role at Anfield is bound to resurface.
In a recent chat with Rio Ferdinand, Gerrard spoke of how his admiration for Liverpool has only deepened since retiring, praising the ongoing support he’s received from senior figures at the club.
Moments like this campaign only reinforce that enduring bond. Whether it’s simply a festive cameo or something more significant down the line, Gerrard’s presence serves as a reminder that Liverpool and its legends are never truly apart.
