Al-Ettifaq supervisor, Steven Gerrard has revealed that he was snubbed by two Championship clubs before he moved to Saudi Arabia this summer season.
Gerrard acknowledged this after a 2-1 win over Al-Nassr on Monday.
According to the previous Liverpool captain, he headed to the Middle East after failing to hear again from the two groups, believed to be Leicester City and Leeds United.
“I was in for two Championship jobs. I’m not afraid to say that, I never got them jobs.
“And I didn’t want to stay out of the game much longer and this was the best thing on the table at the time,” Gerrard mentioned.
