Gerrard is currently not managing a team, having left Al-Ettifaq, while Lampard is in charge of Coventry City in the Championship. Rooney found it surprising that Carragher, known for his vast football knowledge, did not consider a management career. Rooney praised Carragher's expertise, saying he had a deep understanding of the game that spanned decades.

Rooney mentioned that he was not surprised by his own decision to pursue a career in management, but was surprised by Gerrard and Lampard's choices, as well as Carragher's decision to become a pundit instead. He also thought that Michael Carrick would have been a suitable candidate for management.

Gerrard has spoken about his retirement from football, stating that he is happy to be away from the sport and does not plan to return to work anytime soon. He enjoys having the freedom to spend time with his family and pursue other interests, such as playing golf and socializing with friends.
