Gerrard: Saudi Arabia’s league could be one of the best in the world
Steven Gerrard has vowed to help make the Saudi Pro League one of the “best leagues in the world” after taking charge of Ettifaq.
The former Liverpool captain was named as the next manager of the Saudi Arabian club last week.
We all have an ambition to continue to grow and evolve and make it one of the best leagues in the world,” Gerrard said of the club.
“I think the club already has an incredible culture, it’s already got fantastic support, it’s got a really important president – we’re about to change to a new president – but the board are all aligned, they’re all ambitious, people very good that I put a lot of time and effort into the club, so I want to be part of that culture. I think the club has a lot of good people representing the club from the board down. When I landed in Saudi Arabia I had a real family feeling, they made me feel extremely welcome,” said the Liverpool legend.
