Steven Gerrard's managerial career has hit a new low after being sacked by Al Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League, with the team sitting 11th on 22 points after 18 games.

What happened to Steven Gerrard's managerial career?

He had a successful stint at Rangers, leading the Scottish giants to an unbeaten league title win in 2021, but his experience in the Premier League with Aston Villa was short-lived.
The Villa board sacked him after a series of poor results, and he took up a post at Al Ettifaq, but his time in Saudi has been cut short.

Why is Steven Gerrard's future uncertain?

With no offers in England forthcoming, Gerrard may be forced to consider a move to a lower-league club, with Carlisle preparing an approach for the 44-year-old.
The team is currently bottom of League Two, eight points from safety, and in danger of going out of the Football League entirely.

What's next for Steven Gerrard?

Gerrard was touted for the England job when Gareth Southgate left, but that was handed to Thomas Tuchel, and he was recently linked with a move for Mo Salah, which would have upset the Anfield faithful.
The question now is how desperate Gerrard is to get back into English football, and whether he will consider a move to a club like Carlisle.
The American owners of Carlisle are making an audacious attempt to raise the profile of the club, but it remains to be seen if Gerrard will be interested in the challenge.
As of now, Al Ettifaq is 24 points behind leaders Al Hilal after only 18 games, a fairly abysmal record for Gerrard.
And with his fall from grace arguably complete, Gerrard must decide what's next for his managerial career.
But for now, his future remains uncertain, with Carlisle waiting in the wings.
So the former Liverpool great must weigh his options carefully, considering what's best for his career.
The Daily Mail reports that Carlisle is preparing an approach for Gerrard, but it's unclear if he will be interested in the move.
Gerrard's experience at Rangers and Aston Villa will be valuable in any future role, but his time in Saudi has been a disappointment.
