sack Rafael Benitez on Monday and expects to see him back
in the Premier League.
Benitez was relieved of his duties after just seven months in
charge, despite Madrid sitting third in La Liga and
comfortably progressing to the round of 16 of the
Champions League.
The 55-year-old was immediately replaced by former France
international Zinedine Zidane.
Gerrard, who won a Champions League and FA Cup under
Benitez at Liverpool, confessed he was sad to see him
replaced already, but is sure he will bounce back.
"I'm sad for Rafa because I thought he was doing a decent
job at Madrid," he said.
"But with the quality in his CV, I'm sure big clubs around the
world will be trying to get Rafa Benitez because he's a
wonderful manager.
"I can [see him back in England]. I don't know what club
though.
"You never know what club in the Premier League might
need a manager because any club could need a manager at
any given time.
"It's a brutal business with results. Clubs change their
managers very quickly at the moment."
