[Saba Sports News] Since leaving Aston Villa, Steven Gerrard was invited to coach Saudi United team AI-Ettifaq. Recently, Gerrard discussed his coaching journey at Villa in an interview with the media. He admitted that he currently lacks the capability to coach a Premier League team, but he will not give up on his plan to coach in the Premier League in the future. He is determined to return. Gerrard said, “I want to repay those who have believed in me. I am still ambitious and eager to achieve the best in my coaching career. I have faced setbacks, but I am working hard to overcome them.” The editor believes that coaching a Premier League team is one of the most challenging roles in the football world today. It is not easy to coach a mid-table team in the Premier League, which is highly competitive. Although Gerrard achieved unprecedented success in the lower-level Scottish Premiership, coaching a Premier League team that is not among the strongest is extremely difficult. As evident from his time coaching Villa, where he only achieved 12 Premier League victories in 11 months.
