Steven Gerrard interview: ‘Money is not the only reason I took a job in Saudi Arabia’
Steven Gerrard
As always, Steven Gerrard is refreshingly candid. “I was financially secure a long time ago,” he says. “So, I would not come to Saudi for money. Was it part of it? Yes. Was it the only thing that made me do it? One million per cent, no.”
Gerrard is the head coach of Al-Ettifaq and caused a huge stir when he finally joined last July following a long courtship with one of England’s greatest-ever players hailed by the Saudi Pro-League club as “a legend who brings a glorious history and exciting future”.
