We loved Gerrard as a player, the same as the coach of Glasgow Rangers where the Liverpool legend created a brief change of power in Scottish football. Then came the promising start as Aston Villa manager, the less promising start to the first full season. Then the sacking and the inexplicable exit of 2023 to Saudi Arabian football.
After a weak first season as manager, where Gerrard first persuaded Jordan Henderson to relinquish the captain’s armband at Liverpool, only to see Henderson leave halfway through the season, the current season has started even weaker.

At the weekend, Gerrard’s team lost 0-2, now the club is in 11th place after nine games, without a win in the last six games.
After the game, Gerrard was greeted by a hearty beeping concert by his own supporters, we don’t understand how the Liverpool icon will keep his job after this start.
🇸🇦😬 Steven Gerrard was booed by Al-Ettifaq fans as his side suffered their 4th loss in 6 games…
They currently sit 11th in the Saudi Pro League.

ENGLISH CLUBS: Is now clear: Arsenal suffer without Martin Ødegaard
According to Football Insider’s sources, current Rangers coach Philippe Clement is well on his way to being sent out after a poor start to the season. The club has identified Gerrard as a possible replacement. Steven Gerrard’s deal in Saudi Arabian football runs until the summer of 2027, with an option to extend until after the World Cup in Saudi Arabia in 2034.
After the weekend’s sixth game without a win and deafening beeping concert, Gerrard could be available, very soon.
