Gerrard joined Al-Ettifaq in July 2023 and had only signed a new two-year contract with the club in January last year, but a poor run of results sees him out of work once again. 

Al-Ettifaq have won just five of their 17 league matches this season, leaving them five points above the relegation zone, resulting in Gerrard's dismissal.
