Steven Gerrard has revealed he reached out to Sir Alex Ferguson after his sacking by Aston Villa.
Gerrard was let go by the now-Champions League club in October 2022, 11 months into a three-and-a-half year deal, with his side losing six games in 11 Premier League outings and winning just two of their first 12 matches of the season.
He was out of work for a little less than nine months, being appointed Al-Ettifaq manager in July last year and leading them to a sixth-place finish in the Saudi Pro League this season.
