Coach Steven Gerrard, who is having a nightmare in Saudi Arabia, seems to have finally announced his resignation to the club.
Citing the British Telegraph on the 30th (Korea time), the British "Mirror" reported, "Gerrard, a legendary Liverpool midfielder, continues his leadership career in the Middle East, but has suffered from poor performance over the past 18 months. In the end, he reportedly conveyed his resignation to the club. There is no official announcement from the club yet, but it seems that the termination of his contract is underway."
Gerrard made history with Liverpool when he was an active player. In Korea, he was also known as the "Thrammys" along with England midfielders Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard, who shared their heyday. Gerrard announced his retirement in 2016 leaving behind his brilliant moments and began his coaching career a year later as the coach of the Liverpool youth team.
In 2018, he was recognized for his leadership after taking the helm of "Scottish prestigious" Rangers. In his first two seasons since taking the helm, he was lagging behind "rival" Celtic to finish second, but he finally beat Celtic to win the league title in the 2020-21 season. In particular, the victory was all the more meaningful because he achieved "unbeatable" with his overwhelming performance with 32 wins, six draws and 102 points.
However, Gerrard's career began to falter afterwards. Gerrard took the helm of Aston Villa during the 2021-22 season and challenged himself to the Premier League. He finished 11th in the first season with inconsistent performances, but failed to win in four matches (one draw and three losses) after the season's opening, falling to the relegation zone next season. After losing 0-3 to Fulham in the 12th round of the league, he was dismissed due to poor performance.
Gerrard entered the Asian stage after taking the helm of Saudi Arabia's Al Etihad in July last year. He recruited former Liverpool players Jordan Henderson and Giorgio Wijnaldum to aim for victory in the Asian stage. However, his final performance in the first season was sixth in the league. He failed to advance to the Asian Champions League, and had to promise next season.
Gerrard, however, is in a more serious situation. He is currently ranked 12th with five wins, four draws and eight losses (19 points) in 17 matches in the league. He is only five points shorter than Al Orova, who is ranking 16th in the relegation zone. He has had only two wins in 10 official matches in recent months (two wins, two draws and six losses), showing poor performance. 먹튀검증
In the end, Gerrard has made the decision to leave the team. According to the media, Gerrard told a recent news conference, "I am not satisfied with the performance and quality of the players. A draw means losing two points. I will take full responsibility for the result of the match, the missed scoring opportunities, and the deterioration of performance."
