STEVEN GERRARD’s American dream is over with Los Angeles Galaxy announcing his departure.
Steven Gerrard has left Los Angeles Galaxy
Gerrard spent two seasons in American but has struggled in Major League Soccer.
He failed to embrace the American lifestyle and had problems with injuries.
He managed to help Galaxy to the play-offs in both seasons but scored just five goals and recorded 14 assists.

And he admits he leaves with regrets having failed to win an MLS Cup.
“When I left Liverpool, I came to Los Angeles with the goal of helping the Galaxy lift another MLS Cup,” Gerrard said.
“I am of course disappointed to have not achieved that objective, but I can look back at my time at the club with pride at what we accomplished, including two straight playoff appearances and countless memorable moments on the pitch.
“As someone who spent the whole of their career in Liverpool, it has been an incredible experience to come to Los Angeles and play for the LA Galaxy.”
Gerrard has not yet retired and has been lined up for a possible move to Celtic, although a coaching or ambassadorial role at Liverpool may be more appealing.
After struggling across the pond he is unlikely to be open to a move to China and admits he still needs to consider his options.
He added: “I am now looking forward to spending time with my family as I consider the next stage of my career.”
