Gerrard, Saudi RIT Park Hits Leader Not Easy

Blog Article

Coach Steven Gerrard (44), who went to the Saudi Arabian stage, left the team in disgrace without meeting the contract period.

RT Park announced on the 30th (local time) that "we have decided to separate after mutual agreement with coach Gerrard."

Gerrard, who took over as the head coach of RT Park in July 2023, completed his Saudi career in about 18 months. He was famous as a legend between England and Liverpool when he was active, but the leader's path is tough.

Gerrard led his team to sixth place in his first season since taking the helm of RT Park, renewing his contract until 2027. However, he lost trust in the club by staying in 12th place out of 18 teams in the 2024-25 season, and decided to leave the club early.

The club said it would terminate the mutual contract, but in England and Saudi Arabia, Gerrard was replaced due to poor performance.

During his time as an active player, Gerrard played as a world-class player for the England national team, experiencing 114 A matches and playing more than 500 games for Liverpool.

However, he is continuing his bumpy road since his transformation as a leader. Gerrard previously took the helm of the Aston Villa, but was sacked in about a year. 스포츠토토

"I enjoyed the opportunity to work in a new culture. It was a positive experience for my family as well as personally. I learned a lot," Gerrard said. "I wish RAT Park good performance."
