Steven Gerrard has emerged as a shock candidate to become Poland’s new head coach.
Gerrard has spent the last two months re-energising himself after losing his job at Aston Villa, and enjoyed the opportunity to spend Christmas with his family.
He will carefully consider his next move, given the way things ended at Villa Park. Gerrard arrived in the Midlands after doing a superb job at Rangers, where he led them to the Scottish Premier League title in 2021. The prospect of him leading Poland to Euro 2024, however, has come out of left field.

The deal of previous boss Czeslaw Michniewicz was not renewed after the Qatar World Cup
A report by Polish publication Meczyki on Tuesday indicated that the national federation had approached Gerrard about succeeding Czeslaw Michniewicz, whose contract was not renewed after Poland were eliminated from the World Cup by France in the last 16.
Herve Renard, who was in charge of Saudi Arabia at the World Cup, is also reported to be under consideration.
The Polish FA are said to have approached Gerrard several days ago, with the 42-year-old now weighing up the offer.
If he accepted, his new job would see him link up with Villa's England-born right back Matty Cash, who has won 11 caps for the European nation after applying for a Polish passport.
Roberto Martinez, formerly of Everton and most recently Belgium, was reportedly one of the names being considered before he was appointed Portugal boss this week.

Gerrard, an icon at Anfield, was widely tipped to eventually take over at Liverpool after ending Celtic's remarkable run of nine league titles in a row while managing their fierce rivals Rangers, but that path is less clear after his Villa sacking.
The Midlands side, now managed by former Arsenal boss Unai Emery, are set to make the first signing of the Spaniard's tenure as Real Betis left-back Alex Moreno has flown in for a medical ahead of a £13million switch.
Villa currently lie 11th in the league table, 11 points off the European spots and seven points clear of the relegation zone.
