Steven Gerrard has returned to management in Saudi Arabia after playing hardball with his new employers.
The former Rangers and Aston Villa boss has been announced as the new head coach of Al-Ettifaq - a matter of weeks after suggesting their contract offer wasn’t up to scratch.
Gerrard, sacked by Villa last year, was invited to the Middle East last month and held talks with club officials, but on his return to England insisted: “As we stand right now, I won’t be taking that offer up."
