Steven Gerrard's bumper deal at Al-Ettifaq has made him one of international football's highest paid managers and sees him as well paid as Jurgen Klopp despite a pitiful few months in Saudi Arabia.
The former Aston Villa managed joined the Saudi Pro League side in the summer, but hasn't had the easiest start in the Kingdom.
Al-Ettifaq are in the midst of a winless run lasting over two months, and currently sit eighth in the league.
Speculation had begin to mount that Gerrard might struggle to cling on to his role - particularly amid the backdrop of the departure of landmark signee Jordan Henderson for Ajax after less than seven months - but the club doubled down on their support of the Liverpool legend with the announcement of a fresh contract.
