Despite calls for his resignation, Steven Gerrard released a strong message last week, stating that he intends to remain manager of Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq.
Gerrard is 16 months into his £15.2 million-per-year contract with Al-Ettifaq, and he led the side to sixth place in the Saudi Pro League last season.
However, they are in 10th place this season, having not won a league game since September 14, and they hit a new low on Wednesday, losing 3-1 to lower league team Al-Jabalain to exit the King Cup at the last-16 stage.
Gerrard denied scheduling training sessions around Liverpool matches during a press conference on Friday and vowed to keep working hard to bring success to the Saudi Pro League club.
‘My major priority is this job and making this club the greatest it can be, both on and off the field,’ Gerrard added. “I am all in, and I will continue to be all in.”
Steven Gerrard is under pressure in his Saudi Pro League duty, but lives a life of luxury away from the pitch.

Steven and Alex Gerrard live a luxurious lifestyle in Bahrain, as the Liverpool veteran manages Saudi Arabian team Al-Ettifaq FC.
The family had turned down a property near his job in Dammam, where Al-Ettifaq is headquartered, and instead chose to live in Bahrain.
Bahrain’s capital is only an hour’s drive from Dammam, allowing the former Liverpool player to easily commute to work.
The country has more lenient rules than Saudi Arabia, where drinking is prohibited, and numerous WAGS have complained about cultural limitations and abuse because of how they dress.
Some reported to have been denied admission to shops and malls because they showed off portion of their arms, legs, or chest.
Gerrard’s wife, Alex Curran, is claimed to be living a ‘dream life’ in their £100,000-per-month villa in Hamala, Bahrain.
The family lives in a beautiful six-bedroom villa in the Hamala district of the city, near to Bahrain’s royal family and other members of the country’s elite.
It costs roughly £10,000 per month and has its own swimming pool, tennis court, and games area. It is located in a courtyard behind a high fence.

Steve Gerrard and his wife Alex informed pals that they are living the ‘ideal life’ in Bahrain.
The family has been able to enjoy Bahrain’s opulent malls, restaurants, and bars, which have earned the country the distinction of being the Gulf region’s party capital.
Gerrard and his family have also received free memberships to the country’s two most prestigious health clubs, which are located at the opulent Four Seasons Hotel and the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
The pair, who married in 2007, has three girls and a boy: Lilly Ella (20), Lexie (17), Lourdes (12), and Lio (7).
The Gerrards are regulars at the Ritz’s open-air bar, which is positioned near the hotel’s private beach and shows Premier League games on huge screens.
They have also been sighted at Bahrain Rugby Club, an upscale expat hangout with excellent sports pitches.
The club features a spacious sports bar, where the former Liverpool legend is said to have sipped a pint and chatted with the locals.
Alex’s favourite location is Manama’s World Trade Centre, which houses over 80 luxury designer names like as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Versace.
