Under-fire Al-Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard has avoided being sacked by the Saudi Pro League club - but two key staff members have left in a bid to try to improve results.

Gerrard was booed by a significant section of the home fanbase earlier this month after Al-Ettifaq were beaten by Al-Qadsiah.

Supporters had urged the Liverpool legend to 'get out' following the result, which came after a 3-1 loss to lower league outfit Al-Jabalain in the King's Cup last-16.

Al-Ettifaq were beaten 3-1 by Al-Hilal on Friday, with Aleksandar Mitrovic, Malcolm and Mohammed Al-Qahtani on target for the reigning champions.
