Xabi Alonso Associated As Gerrard Seeks New Assistant

Aston Villa manger Steven Gerrard is in search of a new assistant after his No2 left for QPR vacant position.

The 41-year-old arrived at Villa Park alongside Gerrard in November after they worked together at Rangers. Beale was also one of several members of Gerrard's coaching staff that he previously worked with during his time at Liverpool's academy.

But Gerrard will now work without his trusted assistant for the first time in his managerial career as QPR are set to name Beale as their new manager this week.

Former Liverpool teammate Xabi Alonso is being linked with the position after leaving Real Sociedad as B team coach.
