STEVEN GERRARD has bagged a new job five months after being sacked by Aston Villa.

And the move is being hailed as a “major coup.”

Gerrard lasted less than a year at Villa Park after joining them from Rangers in November 2021.

The Liverpool legend won just 13 of his 40 matches before getting the boot in October.

And after seeing Unai Emery replace him in the Midlands, Gerrard is yet to land a new role.

However, the former England captain has finally managed to get a big gig this week.

That’s after being snapped up by Channel 4 for the Three Lions’ upcoming Euro qualifiers.

The broadcaster believes it has pulled off a “major coup” to land Gerrard for England’s games against Italy and Ukraine.

And the Mail adds he is likely to be joined by Joe Cole and Jill Scott in the studio.

Meanwhile, Gerrard continues to be linked with a return to the beautiful game.

It’s claimed he was on Leeds’ shortlist to replace Jesse Marsch before they plumped for Javi Gracia.

And Gerrard is also thought to have held talks with Turkish side Trabzonspor after flying to Istanbul this month.

But incredibly, it’s reckoned Paris Saint-Germain could be set to swoop as pressure grows on Christophe Galtier.

The French side were beaten 2-0 at home by Rennes last night.

And they are also out of the Champions League after defeat to Bayern Munich.
