Sin embargo, lejos de obtener buenos resultados con el Al-Ettifaq, sólo octavo en la Saudi Pro League y sin poder ganar desde hace ocho partidos en la liga, el entrenador Steven Gerrard tiene total confianza por parte de sus dirigentes.
Según información del medio The Athletic este jueves, el técnico inglés llegó a un acuerdo con su dirección para ampliar su contrato por dos años más, hasta junio de 2027.
Para apostar por el equipo saudí a largo plazo, el excentrocampista del Liverpool ha obtenido garantías sobre las futuras inversiones de su equipo en el mercado de fichajes con el fin de reforzar la plantilla a su disposición. Basta decir que Al-Ettifaq, que pronto verá la marcha de Jordan Henderson al Ajax de Ámsterdam, corre el riesgo de animar la ventana de transferencias.
