Steven Gerrard Faces Mounting Criticism Amid Al-Ettifaq’s Struggles

Steven Gerrard

After Al-Ettifaq’s unexpected loss to second-division team Al-Jabalain, which led to an early King’s Cup exit, manager Steven Gerrard is coming under more criticism. Fan discontent has increased as a result of this defeat; some claim Gerrard is not dedicated and is only waiting for a hefty severance payout.

Al-Ettifaq, who are currently in 10th place in the Saudi Pro League, have not won a league game since defeating Al-Fateh 2-1 on September 14. The team’s success has been uneven even after Gerrard’s high-profile appointment 16 months ago, which came with a £15.2 million yearly salary. Supporters have begun to doubt his general commitment and tactical style as a result of the club’s 17 wins, 15 losses, and 14 draws in 46 games under his direction.

The Increasing Frustration of Supporters

The recent cup loss has made supporters even more irate, and many are questioning Gerrard’s managerial abilities. Calls for a leadership change to turn around Al-Ettifaq’s league fortunes have grown as a result of the team’s inability to maintain consistent form.
