Steven Gerrard insists the Saudi Pro League will only continue its rapid growth as he outlined his reasons for taking the role as the new Al-Ettifaq manager.
Gerrard became the latest high profile name to align themselves with Saudi Arabia's top flight when he signed a deal to become the manager of Ettifaq last week.
It's the Liverpool legend's first job in management since he was sacked as Aston Villa boss in November of last year as the SPL added another big name to its league to go alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who left Manchester United and Real Madrid to join Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad in November and June respectively.
