Just two days after being appointed as the manager of Saudi Arabian club Ettifaq, Steven Gerrard has wasted no time in expressing his ambitious plans for the team’s future. The former Aston Villa manager has reportedly set his sights on signing Chelsea’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson, two prominent names in English football. Gerrard’s desire to bring in such high-profile players showcases his determination to make a significant impact on Ettifaq’s fortunes.
Having enjoyed a great playing career, Gerrard went into management after retiring from professional football. His first managerial role at Rangers FC in Scotland showcased his tactics and ability to motivate a team. Under his guidance, Rangers captured the Scottish Premiership title after a decade-long wait, effectively breaking Celtic’s dominance. Gerrard’s success with Rangers gained attention from various clubs, ultimately leading to his appointment as the manager of Ettifaq.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, currently plying his trade at Chelsea, is widely regarded as one of the most lethal strikers in world football. Known for his blistering pace and clinical finishing. Henderson on the other hand is still an important player for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool so this deal looks a bit complicated right now.
