Simon Jordan has dismissed Steven Gerrard’s work at Rangers as the former Ibrox boss is linked with the vacant Poland job.

The ex-Gers manager has been touted to make a surprising step up to international management with the national side.

But the former football chairman and current talkSPORT pundit says the Liverpool legend would be unwise to take up the position.

Discussing Gerrard’s career prospects following his sacking from Aston Villa earlier this season with co-host Jim White, the former Crystal Palace owner believes Gerrard’s achievements in the dugout have been mediocre.

"I don't think you can look at Steven Gerrard's body of work at Aston Villa and call it anything but,” said Jordan.

"When he was announced as Aston Villa manager, I said it might work. That's not because of looking at it with a half-empty glass, I don't think he had the credentials to deliver for Aston Villa on what they needed to deliver.

“They needed a manager that was far more experienced to try and take up the challenge and ambition of these owners, and the change of direction Aston Villa want to have.

“Unai Emery might prove me right but Steven Gerrard certainly didn't prove me wrong. If he takes the manager job at Poland, I think he's mad. I don't see how that develops him. I think he's got a lot more to learn about management before he even gets near international management."

The England hero joined Rangers in May 2018 and led the club to the league title three years later, their first in a decade to halt rivals Celtic’s domination of the Scottish game.

But the manager’s credentials have been questioned, even by those involved in Polish football.

The Light Blues themselves were branded as “mediocre” by former star of the national side Radosław Kaluzny.

The ex-Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, who achieved 41 caps for his country, said: “I would remove Gerrard from this list immediately. We need a good manager, not a good ex-player. The Englishman was an excellent player, but today he is an apprentice in the management profession.

"He managed two mediocre clubs and didn't do that good a job at either of them.

"Entrusting him with our team would be like a game of Russian roulette.

"The national team is not a training ground for managers who want to practice.

"I have no problem choosing a foreign coach, but not Gerrard. One with international experience would be good and someone who won't leave at the first sign of a club job."
