Steven Gerrard has not had the best start to his career in Arabia, as the team does not seem to deliver the desired results, with Al-Ettifaq sitting eighth in the Saudi pro League table. So it is far from the top places as it is 23 points behind the leader Al-Hilal. So Gerrard's chances seem to be at their limit.

However, he is far from leaving Arabia, as the former Reds captain has just signed a contract extension, which is undoubtedly a big surprise for everyone, as it was believed that after his resounding failure he would be the first casualty of the team. In what would be Al-Ettifaq's quest to reverse this situation where the team has not improved.
On Saturday there was the big surprise of Steven Gerrard's contract extension with the Dammam team. It was announced that despite the fact that Gerrard has not won for almost two months, his contract is extended until 2027. So Steven should already be thinking about new strategies for his team, who will play again in mid-February.
Incidentally, Gerrard has just lost his best player and captain, Jordan Henderson, who did not adapt to the Middle East and decided to return to Europe as soon as possible, and will now play for Ajax. He is leaving behind a multi-million dollar salary and the illusion of improving a league, as he had said on his arrival.

Despite his resounding failure, Steven Gerrard will now be part of Al-Ettifaq for a long time to come. Despite this, and the fact that the results are not as expected, Gerrard will have an incredible salary, as he would be paid £15.2 million per year. This equals the salary that Jürgen Klopp receives on Merseyside, however Klopp is one of the best managers in the world at the moment, and Gerrard is just starting out, and he has not had the success he expected after his departure from Rangers, where he had his best spell as a manager so far.
