Steven Gerrard wants to make Philippe Coutinho his first signing as Al-Ettifaq boss - despite Jamie Carragher's stark advice.
Gerrard was announced as the new manager of the Saudi Pro League club, despite initially rejecting the job a month ago. "As we stand right now, I won’t be taking that offer up," said the Liverpool legend in June, but he's since changed his mind.
Gerrard was one of the greatest Premier League players of his generation and will attract big names to Al-Ettifaq. One player who could make the move is Coutinho, with Aston Villa manager Unai Emery looking to get the expensive Brazilian off his books.
