Can we just take a moment to remember that Gerrards' Rangers went an entire season without losing. Any manager capable of doing that in any league is noteworthy.

"The focus of the interview should be about Aston Villa." Well said Stevie G, YNWA.

Holding back the tears! Why!? Because he is a passionate man who wears his heart on his sleeve. He always left his heart on the pitch and that doesn't change in management. He is clearly sad about leaving Rangers and clearly has the utmost respect for them. This is a manager YOU WANT. Not a manager that doesn't fall in love with a club but one who gives their all! "He's ALL IN."

Hes definitely holding back the tears when asked about Gerard Houllier. Always spoke so highly of him and his impact not just as a manager but as a man and a farther figure. His autobiography explains this deeper. I think just bringing up his name and talking about him brings up a tear or two. RIP Houllier

Gerrard saying to keep the press conference about villa and the very next question is about Liverpool 😭 how do they get these jobs man

I am a Rangers man through and through. Although I was very disappointed at the timing and the quickness of his move away from Rangers I will forever be grateful to Steven Gerrard for helping my club get its identity back. When he came to the club we where in a mess with no real structure anywhere in the club. Thanks Steven and good luck.

As a Rangers fan I want to wish him all the very best. I was ecstatic when he joined us as manager and I was gutted when he left 😔, but time stands still for no man. We move on. He brought the good times and class back to our club 🇬🇧 💙. I will always cherish the memories of his time with us and I will always be eternally grateful for him bringing us 55. Best of luck Stevie G. WATP

What a player he was, and I can only see him succeeding further as a manager. He turned Rangers around from being a laughing stock at the hands of Celtic supporters, to being the best team by far in the SPL. You could see even just talking about Rangers was emotional for him. Wishing him every success at Villa. Best of luck Stevie G lad 👊🏻

Thank's for the memories Stivie. All the best in your new adventure. You and your team restored professionalism back at Ibrox.

"Of course, of course" Can't wait😬

As a huge Liverpool fan, I am so happy to see so many positive remarks from rangers fans about his time at their club, as a fan of his in his playing days it makes me feel proud of him.

I've gave the man a bit of abuse over last few days, for which I'm now sorry, but that's only cos of how much he was loved in Glasgow. Tbh villa don't knw how lucky they've got especially if they break into Europe. Inside 3.5 years he's one of rangers most successful European managers with high rankings in European wins, goals, clean sheet %s etc. He's a fantastic manager. And for him to keep referring the interview was bout villa (with the same sort of tears in the eyes I've had since he left) shows the man's class. he really is a great manager for getting results and with proper money to spend could build a decent villa team earning euro places and making villa a name in Europe again then the Liverpool job will b next. Good luck Stevie G Legend in Liverpool God in Glasgow 🇬🇧

Gerrard helped Rangers through a tough time so as Ranger's supporters we should be grateful to him for that. Yes, I'm disappointed in the timing, but I am equally confident Rangers will bring in a suitable replacement and continue to go from strength to strength...

Thanks for the memories at Rangers Stevie "G" 👏You gave us back our pride & we also enjoyed the absolute meltdown of Celtic & the salty tears of thier supporters on our way to winning our world record breaking 55th title 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆" All the best at villa 👌

This Villa job will literally determine his fate as a manager

He had us playing a standard of football last season I’ve not seen since the mid 90’s at Rangers. I’ll be cheering you on Stevie G north of the border

*Liverpool calls tomorrow* Gerrard: “ignore the news, I’m a free agent”

Like it. No nonsense through and through. Let that be fed into these players. Work damn hard for your team, every week.

I'm gonna put this straight, as a Rangers fan I was gutted when Stevie left and the way he did it, I'll get over it but the guy is a legend at Rangers FACT . What he achieved should never be forgotten , such an iconic title win for so many reasons and for that alone he has forever imprinted himself in our clubs history. Thanks for the memories Stevie and I wish you luck I really do , one day though I think your going to regret leaving we'll see . Genuinely looked upset when talking about leaving. Anyway let's Gio 🇬🇧🍊🇳🇱

Darren Farley going to have fun having this legend back in Premier League

I will say this is as a Chelsea fan: Lampard, for all his football knowledge, never managed to properly lead the group of players at Chelsea. The academy boys loved him, but the senior players thought he was out of his depth. He also experimented way too much with the squad. With Gerrard, I get the feeling that he wont have his players question his authority. He has shown he can lead a group of players. What remains to be seen is if he can cope with the tactics and intensity of the Premier League.

I liked the way he always steered the interview back to Villa. I think he’ll do well there if he’s given time

He looks happy. He looks settled. Don't ask him silly questions.

The amount of negativity in this comment section is ridiculous. Full of bitterness, assumptions and just downright stupidity. He hasn't even started yet and people are saying he's going to fail. He's never managed at this level, we don't know what he is capable of yet. I'm very excited. Welcome Stevie!

I absolutely love and respect this guy. What a legend as a footballer and human being. I wish we had managers like him in Brazil. We got amazing players but very average managers.

Best of luck in the role Gerard, will always still have the full respect from us liverpool supporters, ynwa

Sad to see you leave Stevie g, thanks for the memory's, you will always be welcome back at Ibrox, 55

Happy to see Steven Gerrard My favourite person and footballer , become the Aston Villa Manager. Love to see the relationship and team support grow between him and the aston villa players

as a rangers fan she I heard he was coming to ranger I thought it was a joke but as it stands he left behind a club that will always be grateful to have him as a manager in the first place took time to understand him leaving but we wish him all the best moving foward Steven gerrard 55 will always belong to you 🏅💙💙🏅thanks for the memories 👍

"any pacific date" Why is it out of all the repeated soundbites and muddled up timelines he's trotted out over the last few days, does "pacific" annoy me the most? 😂

Crazy that he's back in the prem! Gonna be successful with Villa I can see it

Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Ole's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. MAN UNITED ARE BACK!!

All the best stevie la 👏🏽

Gerrard looking emotional.... Good luck to him

Proud of our Legend, and congrats to Villa for getting him in. Steve will always give you his %100 and nothing less. Best wishes.

I really appreciate you steeven G ,good luck brother from a Liverpool fan

This is a hell of a gamble. Leaving Rangers so early on in his career might backfire. I personally think he needed a few more seasons under his belt before taking on a task like this one, but I wish him all the best.

I may be wrong but seemed like his voice was starting to break when talking about rangers. Seemed genuinely upset he left.

I will miss you Steven you did us proud 55. Wish you and your backroom staff all the best at Villa. Clean sheets and winning matches is what you have always been about. Fantastic manager. It only hurt because we all think the World of you and losing you left a massive hole around Rangers which felt like a boot to the balls to us all. We have Gio now and we are excited again to see if he can pick up and carry on where you left. Thanks for everything.

I'll always remember that free kick winner from him at villa park in 07, perfect free kick it was

Thanks Gerrard for getting us our 55th title and stopping Celtic winning 10 in a row. It's a shame about the timing of the departure but we move on. Good luck with Aston Villa, I'm sure Gerrard will take yous closer to were yous belong.

I feel really happy for him he deserves this u can't reject the Premier league just hope he does well for villa

Gerrard saying he’s “all in” isn’t a good sign ask Rangers fans 😂😂

Legend, captain, hero

Let’s go Gerrard! ❤️

Heart breaking to watch this, clearly upset at leaving rangers,we thank you stevie and hope gio carry-on the good work watp

Stevie is a legend and a man of honor he so loyal and honest when Jurgen leaves hope Liverpool get him as boss. First i like to see him do really well at Villa a another great club and Rangers fans don't be to sad he made your club great again just wish him all the best.

Congratulations to You.. Steven Gerrard!! YNWA

"I'm all in" Heard that before🐍 🔴⚪🔵

I just hope that Aston Villa give this man the time to settle in and do the job that they've brought him in to do.

He is a legend would like him to success wish him all the best

From a Rangers fan point of view. Steven was an excellent manager for us its night and day where Rangers are now as a football club from where they were 3 and a half years ago.All of the fans absolutely adored him from day 1, he is very well spoken with the media and his passion and desire to win is second to none, people down south may call the scottish league a farmers league but when your the manager of Rangers the expectation levels are to win every single match. He was given the support, time, and backing of Rangers and undoubtedly won one of the most important league titles in over a decade to stop Celtic doing 10 in a row and going unbeaten in a full season, not to mention his exceptional run in Europe against top European sides and giving me and many other fans a memorable nights we will all remember for the rest of our lives. Im absolutely devastated he has left as many other fans were too but i thank him for everything he has done for us and where he has left our club now. If you give him time and support at Villa i have no doubt in my mind he will be a success, all the best Steven thank you for everything, once a Ranger, always a Ranger 🔴⚪️🔵

Why do I feel like he will eventually be England manager. Can just picture him and Lampard in the dugout 🤣🤣

Would help Villa more, if he will play for them.

Im the most excited ive been as a villa fan in years,

He was a excellent player to Liverpool FC and a excellent manager I will think for Aston villa FC I'm happy for him to be at our football club I think if anyone can help the team it's definitely Stephen congratulations Stephen getting the job my friend and up the villa

Sad to see him leave, but he was first class as Rangers manager. For me I wish him the best, future Liverpool & England future manager. Looking forward to seeing him destroy the English press 👍 Thanks SG

That owner guy speaks well, felt like I was going to war listening to him

I hope he's welling up when he leaves Villa for Liverpool too after achieving more than expected, I love that he's giving his whole heart to the job

Stevie G is my source of Passion for Football. Liverpool fc forever. YNWA Living legend.

Well, he's come from a very big fish in a very small pond to a sardine in an ocean. I've watched his playing career and he's always been very loyal and committed and I like the guy. I hope he can be reasonably successful at Villa so that his reputation is not sullied for the inevitable potential future at one of the big clubs in England or Europe.

All the very best Steven you’ve left Rangers in a good place 👍❤️🤍💙

He went through this presser without saying Yeah Course.

2:09 Great stuff what a guy

It’s good seeing young British managers like Howe/Gerrard given a chance in the league then you’ve got Scott Parker who looks like he’s coming back up, Lampards waiting for a job to come available

Your man beside Gerrard sounds like a robot who’s just been programmed to go out and say those exact words . 😅😅😅

when i first saw this guy step on the pitch, i knew he was the real deal. His hard work and dedication got him to the top. I do however think this is going to be a tough job ahead for him this season! i wish him all the best

Many Rangers fans are angry at how he left, but you can see when Rangers was mentioned here that he gave the reasons why he left and clearly didn't want to talk about the situation as it is obviously still a very raw subject. He stopped 10 in a row and once the dust settles I am sure the majority of Rangers fans will be more understanding. Good luck Stevie, hope you do well at Villa and hope your family are glad to have you closer to home. As you said, once a Ranger, always a Ranger!

Good luck Stevie G thank you for your service at Ibrox. Onwards and upwards

What’s really going on here? Stevie’s definitely holding back the tears 😬

For anyone moaning this is a special manager with a very very bright future. You only half to listen to him and see the way he goes about his job

I've never taken much notice of Villa before. But now Stevie's there, they will be getting a lot of my attention.

The real winner of this signing is Darren Farley.

Gerrard looks emotional u can tell it’s a big moment for him

Od dziecka jestem kibicem Ruchu Radzionków i Aston Villla a Stefana zawsze poddzwialdm był wielki Pozdrawiam

All the best. we love you. 💪 👍 👍

Yeaaaa courssssssseeeee

As a Gers fan, all I can say is thankyou SteveG I am proud of you and your achievements at Rangers. He came he promised and he delivered so I do understand why he thought his job was done and time to move onto his next challenge, the Premiership. Rangers are a massive club but the Scottish league could never compete with the Premiership, THATS WHY we should be in it and competing with the best in Britain, not side lined like second class citizens. Will he do well, will Villa get their dream of European football? Only time will tell but I am sure he will drive them on to better things he proved he can deliver, he did it at Rangers !!

Stevey G!!!! Man I cried when I heard him coming back to the prem

I’ll tune in to watch Villa’s game just to see Gerrard on the touch line.

Gerard was a total boss in the way he handled the media at Rangers - he looks totally different here, shaky, rolling out platitudes Must have been a crazy time for him

Was he getting a bit upset talking about leaving rangers? Obviously loved it there and the people there. Gerrard in 4 years... manager of liverpool In 10 years.... Prime Minister

LEGEND 👏

Great appointment, proven himself at Rangers and will do so at Villa too. His mix of wealth of football knowledge and his will to win will be very interesting to see where he can get Villa. Thought Dean Smith was left go unfairly as he’d done a great job but Stevie might just give them what they are looking for.

Gerrard owes Rangers nothing. They wouldn’t have won the title without him and returned to the top of Scottish football.

His voice seems quite shaken when he’s talking about rangers and Liverpool. Must of been hard to leave rangers but hope he does well with villa and is in a place for Liverpool come end of klopp era.

You’ll Never Walk Alone Stevie.

Stevie been watching the WSOP Main event last night ♣️🃏

In modern management style no one is All in. Especially that few days earlier He was All in with Rangers. Only money and business.

Great for Villa and great for the Prem as a whole having Stevie G involved. Hopefully we will see Frank Lampard back in a prem role soon, he still has a lot to give IMO. I'm all up for more British managers in the the Prem.

I’m so happy my legend is back 😍🥰🥰

stevie's face at the end when he was talking about winning european cups lmao

Looks very uncomfortable to me. He knows the way he left us was wrong. No press conference no goodbyes and no explanation. He’ll never be Liverpool manager and that’s not sour grapes.

Probably has a clause in the contract which allows him to talk to Liverpool if they come in for him. I'm sure they will whenever klopp goes

LOVE YOU SG8

If anyone doesn't think he wasn't tapped up long time before dean smith was sacked they're proper naive.

Love him or dislike like him (hate is a waste of energy) I think we are seeing a young manger who has a fantastic future ahead of him. What he achieved at Rangers shows his class. I wish him all the best for the future and every success. (Leeds fan of 57 years)

Good luck Steven, I hope all goes well at Aston Villa but need to point out that you looked much smarter wearing a Rangers tie.

Im a chelsea fan.Only how can I wish this guy anything but good luck .Hard working manager who will succeed.

Always has and always will ooze class..as a player and a coach....just brings professionalism from the bottom to the top...gutted as a rangers fan but we all knew it would happen sooner rather than later....thanks stevie g for leaving the club in a far better position than when u started...but if u want our best players do the right thing for both of us and pay top money
