How I was rejected by two English clubs – Steven Gerrard
Al-Ettifaq esteemed manager, Steven Gerrard, unveiled his journey of resilience as he emerged victorious with a 2-1 triumph over Al-Nassr on Monday. The former Liverpool captain disclosed a hidden chapter in his career, where he encountered rejection from two Championship clubs prior to embarking on his current venture in Saudi Arabia this summer.
Gerrard, renowned for his indomitable spirit both on and off the field, chose to shed light on his recent challenges after securing a hard-fought victory. Revealing his determination to remain connected to the sport, Gerrard disclosed, “I was in the running for two Championship positions. It’s no secret, I was in contention for those roles, but fate had a different plan.”
The managerial positions at the elusive clubs of Leicester City and Leeds United remained elusive for Gerrard, prompting him to seek new horizons in the Middle East. “When the silence grew deafening, and opportunities seemed scarce, I knew I couldn’t allow myself to languish on the sidelines for long.
