Steven Gerrard 'approached' as Liverpool legend 'set to be offered' next job
The Polish Football Association are said to have "started talks" with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard over becoming the new manager of the Poland national side.
After exiting the World Cup in Qatar at the last-16 stage with a 3-1 loss against France, Poland decided not to renew the contract of Czeslaw Michniewicz.
Gerrard has been without a job since being relieved of his duties at Aston Villa in October following a poor start to the Premier League which saw fans turn against him at Villa Park.

Liverpool might be forced to review Diogo Jota demands as injury return date draws nearer
Twelve months ago, Diogo Jota was on the hand to answer the call from Jurgen Klopp.
Having seen Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah depart to an Africa Cup of Nations that would end with both involved in the final out in Cameroon, Klopp was in need of attacking inspiration and Jota responded in kind.
Five goals in less than a month between January and February while Mane and Salah were away took the Portugal star up to 17 for a campaign that would end with him breaking the 20-goal barrier for the first time in his top-flight career.
It was a season that saw Jota develop into one of Klopp's most trusted options and the former Wolves man was rewarded for his performances with a brand new contract that was signed in August.
Since then, though, it's largely been a tale of woe for Jota at Anfield. A hamstring injury picked up during the club's tour of the Far East has had a knock-on effect that has threatened to wreck his entire campaign. Eventually returning in early September in a goalless draw at Everton, the former Atletico Madrid and Porto man come back into to a side struggling for fluency and rhythm back in the Autumn.
Just seven more appearances were made by Jota before a serious calf injury, sustained in the closing stages of October's 1-0 win over Manchester City, has again left him sidelined. It ruined his hopes of performing for Portugal at the World Cup and was a major part in the thinking behind the move for Cody Gakpo at the start of the calendar year.
