Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard Named Manager of Saudi Club Al Ettifaq

Gerrard had initially declined an offer from Al Ettifaq but reopened talks and accepted the position.
Al Ettifaq finished seventh in the Saudi Pro League last season and is hoping Gerrard can help rebuild the team.
Gerrard previously managed Rangers, leading them to a Scottish league title, and Aston Villa but was fired last season.
Saudi Arabia has been recruiting high-profile soccer figures like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema to raise the profile of their domestic league.
As a player, Gerrard was a Liverpool icon who won numerous trophies, including the 2005 Champions League, but never claimed a Premier League title.
