Steven Gerrard has insisted that he won’t be accepting the top job at Al-Ettifaq after “analysing” the Saudi club’s lucrative proposal.
The former Liverpool skipper continues to be a free agent after he was sacked by Premier League outfit Aston Villa last October following a string of poor results. Al-Ettifaq wanted to make the most of the opportunity and approached Gerrard to become their new manager. The former England international travelled to Saudi Arabia to discuss the details of the offer and, after careful consideration, decided to turn down the lucrative move.
“I was invited over there to look at a potential offer, which I did. I have been analysing that over the last couple of days. But, as we stand right now, I won’t be taking that offer up,” he stated to Channel 4.
