Steven Gerrard says he will not accept the coaching offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.

He confirmed on Channel 4 before England’s Euro 2024 Qualifier against North Macedonia.

“I was invited over there to look at a potential offer, which I did,” the former England captain said.

“I have been analysing that over the last couple of days. But, as we stand right now, I won’t be taking that offer up” he added.

The 43-year-old moved on to Aston Villa, where he was fired last October.

Gerrard led Villa to 13 wins from 40 games in his 11 months in command after joining from Rangers in November 2021.
