Steven Gerrard is reportedly considering a shock job offer to become Al-Ettifaq manager.

The former Rangers boss is said to be taking time to think over the position after committing to any offer.

Reuters claim Saudi club Al-Ettifaw have made an offer to Gerrard and are awaiting a response from the England and Liverpool legend.

And it's said that Gerrard welcomed the approach from the Saudi club but stated his desire to consider his options.

A source told the news outlet: "Al-Ettifaq made an offer to Gerrard.

"He welcomed the idea, but asked for time to study the offer."

Gerrard has been out of the dugout since being sacked by Aston Villa last year.

The 43-year-old was dismissed after a dismal run of form with the club winning just two matches from their opening 12 in the Premier League.

Gerrard has been linked with a number of other clubs with speculation mounting over a possible return to management in England with Leeds.

After his management exit at Villa, Gerrard has been working as a pundit but is thought to be keen on a return to coaching.
