Recruited last summer by Al-Ettifaq, Steven Gerrard could already leave his post as coach of this club playing in the Saudi first division.
Al-Ettifaq has at least one good reason to fire Steven Gerrard: more than mediocre results. Under the leadership of the former coach of Aston Villa and Glasgow Rangers, the Saudi Arabian first division club has not won in the Championship for more than two months: on October 28 at Al Wehda ( 2-3).
The team managed by the 43-year-old former Liverpool midfielder then suffered three defeats and five draws before the international break imposed by the Asian Nations Cup (January 12 – February 10). This period could facilitate the sidelining of Steven Gerrard, indicates Thursday the British media The Guardian.
Considered one of the best midfielders in the world at his time, Steven Gerrard agreed, like many players then playing in Europe, to join Saudi Arabia and its comfortable financial conditions in the summer of 2023.

The fiasco is almost total for everyone.
