Steven Gerrard Manager
Michael Beale is the latest name Wolverhampton Wanderers are running the rule over in their search for a new head coach. Beale, 42, has vast coaching experience having worked in Chelsea and Liverpool’s academies, and he had a stint in Brazilian club Sao Paulo in 2017.
Speaking about Beale a while back,
Steven Gerrard said: “It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he’s the expert. What I’ll never do is try to do someone else’s job when they are better than me at doing it. A lot of people won’t have a clue what Michael Beale does on the training pitch, but what he does is really quite special. I haven’t had the luxury of retiring early from the game or not being a player, in terms of having that pitch time to really become a coach for the past 20 years like a Brendan Rodgers, a Mourinho or a Michael Beale.”
Steve Davis is set to take charge of Tuesday’s match with Crystal Palace after Wolves defeated Nottingham Forest on Saturday. A new manager could be in place for the game against Leicester City next Sunday.
