Al Ettifaq have slumped to 12th in the table after winning just five of their 17 league games this term. Gerrard picks up a reported £15.2m a year in the Gulf state, but his star-studded side are in the midst of a poor run of form. Al Ettifaq have won just one game since the turn of the year and most recently drew 2-2 with second-bottom side Al Wehda FC.
The Liverpool legend's resignation request has been submitted to the Financial Sustainability Committee for the Saudi Arabian top-flight. Gerrard joined Al Ettifaq in 2023, after being sacked by Aston Villa in October 2022. A compensation package for the 44-year-old is yet to be rubber-stamped, according to reports in Saudia Arabia.
