Steven Gerrard set for management return in Saudi Arabia after resuming talks

Steven Gerrard is expected to become the new manager of Saudi Pro League outfit Al Ettifaq.

Gerrard, 43, has been out of the game after being sacked at Aston Villa in October 2022. The ex-Liverpool midfielder was dismissed following Villa's 3-0 defeat at Fulham, which left the West Midlands outfit 17th on two victories from their first 11 Premier League matches.

Since his departure, Gerrard has been working as a pundit on Channel 4's coverage of England and was present at both of March's Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Italy and Ukraine. Gerrard was also working at the Three Lions' thumping 7-0 win over North Macedonia.
