Steven Gerrard ‘in talks’ with new club after Aston Villa exit

Former England midfielder, Steven Gerrard has flown to Istanbul to hold talks with Trabzonspor.

Gerrard has been out of job since being sacked by Aston Villa on October 20.

The 42-year-old lasted less than one year in charge of the Premier League side after joining from Rangers to take a first job in England’s topflight.

Gerrard was linked with the Poland job earlier this year, after the country’s FA decided not to renew Czeslaw Michniewicz’s contract.

But Poland eventually appointed Fernando Santos.

According to Turkish outlet Karar, Gerrard visited Istanbul earlier this week to have dinner with Ertugrul Dogan, who is running to become president of Trabzonspor.

The club are sixth in the Turkish Super Lig, having won 11 of their 23 matches.

Dogan has reportedly promised to hire Gerrard as manager if he wins the forthcoming election.
