He won it all with Liverpool, now he surprises and decides to go to Saudi Arabia, is not Firmino

One of Liverpool FC's great references in recent decades has given a big surprise to the soccer world and announced his arrival in Saudi Arabia. It is about an Anfield legend who won everything with Liverpool and now, decides to take a great opportunity in Saudi Arabia for the next season and against all odds adds even more prestige to the competition.

It is precisely Steven Gerrard. The Anfield legend and now coach has chosen the challenge in Saudi Arabia and will be the new manager of Al Ettifaq, as announced by the club through a video and a statement on its official social networks. In that sense, the team concretizes an important arrival that adds great value to the league.

The English coach comes from a not very fruitful period with Aston Villa, but few forget his enormous work with Glasgow Rangers during his first seasons in this new facet. Now, Steven Gerrard has agreed a deal with Al Ettifaq and will have his first venture outside of Europe with a view to the team being able to compete against the giants of that league.

Can Gerrard be crowned in Arabia with Al Ettifaq?

The Ettifaq Club has 13 titles to its name, including two Premier League titles. Last season, they finished in seventh place with 37 points. Thus, the Englishman arrives at an institution that has a bit of history in the league, but in the last season was in an unexpected position. Now, he will have work to do and it is not surprising that a surprise signing will arrive to the team.
