This season, the Saudi championship is very eventful and contested with the arrivals of renowned players and coaches in the Gulf country. A star coach in the Saudi Pro League would be in big trouble and could lose his place.

Indeed, Steven Gerrard and the Al-Ettifaq team have had a bad start to the season. The Saudi club is in 8th place in the ranking with a total of 25 points, 15 points behind the podium.

The team led by the English manager is on a series of 9 consecutive matches without a victory in all competitions. Worrying results for a team which was strengthened during the off-season.

According to the information from Guardian, the Liverpool legend is said to be in great danger regarding his future. English does not convince and its results disappoint its management. For the moment, Gerrard’s aura and international stature allow him to continue the adventure. But not sure that this will be the case until the end of the season.

The next two matches against Al Khaleej and Al Hilal on February 15 and 22 will be very important for Steven Gerrard and his team. Bad results could seal his future. To be continued…
