The likelihood of Jose Mourinho taking over as Al-Ettifaq’s manager has dropped, as pressure on Steven Gerrard has increased.
The team is now in eighth place in the Saudi Pro League, although the former Rangers manager has had difficulty with his new team in Saudi Arabia.One of the well-known football players to travel to the Middle East was Gerrard, who returned to the dugout in the summer.
He had previously moved from Rangers to the Premier League to play for Aston Villa, but things did not work out there, and he was fired after just eleven months.While Gerrard will be hoping that Al-Ettifaq is a different story, the bookies have already begun to take bets on Gerrard’s possible replacement.
