Steven Gerrard has landed a new punditry role at TNT Sports for Saturday's Champions League final between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Liverpool legend has been out of management and out of work since leaving Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq in January, having struggled to get results in the Middle East.
Gerrard will return to Champions League final action alongside old foe Rio Ferdinand, Karen Carney, and Owen Hargreaves, with Laura Woods and Reshmin Chowdhury to host.
He has appeared as a pundit for the broadcaster on multiple occasions since hanging up his boots in 2016, including for Liverpool's 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid in 2023.
