Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard is reportedly close to being appointed Al-Ettifaq coach in the Saudi Pro League.
The former Liverpool skipper was sacked by Premier League outfit Aston Villa last October after a string of poor results. Since then, he has been out of work and is currently a free agent. According to journalist Romain Molina, Gerrard has been approached by Ettifaq, the Saudi Pro League club, and he remains open to accepting the offer.
The former England international has already flown to Saudi Arabia and is chalking out the final details of his contract before being appointed by The Knight of Ad-Dahna. Gerrard was also being linked with the Leicester City job after Dean Smith was shown the door following their relegation to the Championship.
