Stephen Gerrard left the tunnel with mutual approval after a disappointing talisman for 18 months with the Saudi Arabian Club.
The former midfielder in Liverpool and England leaves Gerard with DAMMAM 12 in the 18 -team league, just five points outside the landing zone.
Etavak has only won the last 14 professional league matches with fans' frustrations of their sliding on the table, which has become more intense in recent weeks.
“Football is unpredictable and sometimes things do not go the way we want,” Gerard said.
“However, I leave with great respect for the club and the country. I have no doubt that the work that is done will achieve success in the future and I wish the best team for the rest of the season.”
“Sometimes things do not go as planned, but the fixed foundations that helped build will guarantee a bright future in the long run,” said the president of Ettifaq Club, the same evening.
The club has changed the best and this will never be forgotten. This decision, which is taken with mutual respect in the agreement, is in the interest of Stephen and the club with our progress forward. “

GERRRRD led the club to the end in sixth place in its only full full season and was rewarded for extending a two -year contract in January 2024 at a value of 300,000 pounds per week.
However, cracks began to appear at the beginning of this season with his assistant assistant, Brigadier Holden and sports director Mark Allen.
Speculation has already begun to suggest that Gerard is in a line to return to Rangers, who won in the Scottish League 2020-21 and Celtic was deprived of the tenth consecutive league title.
He then joined Aston Villa, but was sacked after 11 months after a bad start for the 2022-23 campaign.
