Steven Gerrard says MK Dons managerial vacancy came too soon for him

Gerrard helped Liverpool win one Champions League title, two FA Cups and three League Cups

Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard says MK Dons' managerial vacancy came "a bit too soon" for him.

The 36-year-old midfielder, who is leaving MLS side LA Galaxy, told BT Sport he held talks with the League One club after Karl Robinson's departure.

"It's a very exciting job for someone else," said Gerrard, who made 710 appearances for Liverpool.

He has been linked with moves to Celtic and Newcastle United, as well as a return to Anfield as a coach.

England's fourth most-capped player left Liverpool in 2015 after 17 years in the first team, during which he won eight major trophies.

Gerrard is working towards his Uefa A coaching licence - the second-highest qualification available.
