There is no coaching role to be filled at Wrexham for now, with record-setting Phil Parkinson still at the Red Dragons’ helm. Questions are, however, being asked of his future following a testing start to the 2025-26 campaign.
The ambitious Welsh outfit, who saw Hollywood co-owners help to fund another elaborate spending spree in the summer transfer window, have made no secret of their desire to reach the Premier League as quickly as possible.
Many have suggested that a bigger name will be appointed in the dugout to help guide the club down that path, with ex-England captain Gerrard still a huge draw around the world. He may be of interest to Reynolds and Co if a vacancy opens up in North Wales.
Another former England skipper, Manchester United legend Robson, has told OLBG of Gerrard returning to management in front of documentary cameras: “It’s whether Stevie wants to get back into the game. I mean, he’s had a good experience now in Saudi but you know a job like that would definitely interest him if he does want to go back into management.
“I think Wrexham at this moment of time should give Phil a bit more time because he has done a great job for them. Well, they’ve done fantastic to get where they are from where they were to get into the Championship in a short period of time. For me, if they can consolidate in the Championship, even if they finish mid-table, that would be a really good season from where they’ve come from.
“But yeah, the charisma that the U.S. lads have is fantastic, and the good thing about Wrexham, they’ve got a good fan base that’ll get right behind them so there’ll always be a good atmosphere within the stadium. Then with the sponsorship Ryan Reynolds has brought in too, that can only hold the club in good stead.”
Gerrard, much like one-time Three Lions team-mate Wayne Rooney, has seen his coaching career come off the rails of late. He impressed when guiding Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title in his first role, but has flopped in the Premier League with Aston Villa and in the Middle East since then.
