Liverpool legend Gerrard picked up the U18s Reds lead last summer and supervised the promising start of the season, with its remaining six unsuccessful six games in the campaign.
The former captain also gains managerial experience on the European scene with U19, and the Young Ranks have won one and lost one of their opening two games in the UEFA Youth League.
Alonso, who has been playing for five years in conjunction with Gerrard in Liverpool, from 2004 to 2009, looks further into interest and backs his former skipper's success in his new career. ...
“I’m following the early steps of his career closely and for sure he has all the attributes to become a big manager and a Liverpool manager one day,” the ex-Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Spain playmaker told Liverpoolfc.com.
“For sure, to have someone with his knowledge [will help Liverpool’s youngsters]. But it’s different, you can be a great player but being a manager is a different task.
“For sure, he’s really focused and if he’s able to deliver that message he will be a good one.”
Alonso was speaking at a ceremony that saw Gerrard presented with the 2017 Legend of Football Award in London earlier this week.
Pele and Kenny Dalglish feature among the list of previous winners of the accolade – and Alonso believes Gerrard belongs in such esteemed company.
“Of course we had so many experiences together, so many highs, a few lows as well,” said the World Cup-winner.
“For sure, he deserves this kind of award. He’s a true legend of the game and I think that’s why he’s so praised and we appreciate him so much.”
Alonso went on explain how Gerrard helped him both personally and professionally after he arrived on Merseyside from Real Sociedad at the age of 22 in the summer of 2004.
“I remember my first days in Liverpool. He was a true leader by example, not just in words, and you had to watch and learn from him and keep him close, as close as I could because I knew he was going to be a good influence for me,” he continued.
“We started building a relationship on the pitch [and] off the pitch. Really he represents so well what the Liverpool pride means, the way he behaves, and since then we became really good friends.”
