Steven Gerrard has become one of the highest paid managers in world football after sealing a move to Saudi Arabia.
The former Rangers manager bided his time after being sacked by Aston Villa in October after a poor run of form last year before returning to the dugout for only his third full stint as a manager. Gerrard upped sticks from Glasgow to rebuild at Villa Park but fell short before the lure of the Saudi Pro League was too much to turn down as he joined Al-Ettifaq last week.
It's an eye-watering amount of money for the Liverpool hero in his new role, something Celtic fans resigned themselves to when star man Jota left for Al-Ittihad this month as the Scottish champions banked around £25million for the 24-year-old. But where Gerrard now ranks in world football has proven the motive behind major stars such as Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and N'Golo Kante making the move to the Middle East.
