Rangers boss Steven Gerrard insists he will return to Anfield only in one condition.
The manager, who spent 17 years at Liverpool reckons, he needs to know, if he is a good enough candidate for the role of head coach in the eyes of club owners.
"I understand why because I was captain for so long and a large chunk of the fanbase would like me back at the club," he told the Daily Mail. "But I'm bright enough to realise that, first and foremost, you have to be good enough. The owners need to think you're the right man.
"Let's say Klopp wins the Premier League, Champions League and goes because he feels he can't do any more. They aren't going to pick me if I am only the 20th best candidate.
"And nobody asks if I think I need two or three goes elsewhere. If I got the chance [at Liverpool] I'd want to be best prepared.
"You can't plan everything season by season. If things turn in months, you'd be out of work. That's how brutal the job is, but you are aware before you go in."
In 2017, after retiring from a professional career Gerrard was appointed youth coach at Liverpool. The 39-year-old joined Rangers on May 2018.
