Steven Gerrard Named Manager Of This Saudi Club

Former England and Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has been named manager of Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq.

The 43-year-old had said in June he had been invited over to the country to “look at a potential offer” but that he would not be taking it up.

Gerrard has been out of work since being sacked as Aston Villa manager in October last year.

Al Ettifaq were seventh in the 16-team Saudi Pro League last season, finishing 35 points behind champions Al Ittihad.
