Incoming Al Ettifaq manager Steven Gerrard is plotting a double swoop for ex-Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane.
Gerrard, 43, is expected to return to management with Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq, eight months after he was sacked by Aston Villa. The former midfielder was dismissed from his role in the West Midlands with Villa on the verge of the Premier League bottom-three after picking up nine points from their first 11 matches.
But following a short break from the dugout, Gerrard is set to return - but in a different continent. He will join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Nuno Espirito Santo in Saudi Arabia as the Middle-Eastern nation continues their remarkable rise of attracting some huge names in the football scene.
