Al Ettifaq: Who are Steven Gerrard's new Saudi Arabia club?

Steven Gerrard was on Monday announced as the new manager of Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia – admittedly not the most obvious next destination for the former Liverpool captain following spells in charge of Rangers and Aston Villa. Here’s a look at the Saudi Pro League club.

Ettifaq are two-time Saudi champions, who will compete in the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League, which begins next month. The club’s two primary colours are green and red.

The club are based in Dammam, in the east of Saudi Arabia. Considered the capital of the Eastern Province, Dammam sits on the Arabian Gulf. It is a 1.05-hour flight to Riyadh, with Jeddah 2.05 hours away by plane. Dubai, meanwhile, is a 1.20 hour flight from the city. Ettifaq play their homes matches at the Prince Mohammad bin Fahd Stadium.

Ettifaq ended the 2022/23 season seventh in the standings. Frenchman Patrice Carteron began the campaign in charge, but he was replaced in February by caretaker Antonio Cazorla. Ettifaq exited the King’s Cup, the country’s premier cup competition, at the last 16.
