Footage of Steven Gerrard coaching his Al Ettifaq players has got fans talking.

Back in June, there were reports that Gerrard was close to being appointed the new manager of Saudi Professional League side Al Ettifaq.

Those reports were squashed by Gerrard himself during BT Sport’s coverage of the Champions League final.

However, in early July, Gerrard made a U-turn as he was confirmed as Al Ettifaq’s new manager.

Now, footage of the Liverpool legend coaching his players has emerged and it has got fans saying the same thing. You can watch the video below.

As the footage showed, Gerrard was heard shouting: “One two, one two, do you want it? Tell me then, tell me then.”

Gerrard was then heard shouting to his group: “No communication.”

Fans were quick to react on social media.

One said: “I don't know what this is supposed to be.”

Another tweeted: “Me when I play with my 2 year old.”

A third fan added: “Genuinely no clue what he’s trying to do here poor players are in trouble.”

Someone else wrote: “This is the type of coaching I see in Sunday league sksksks why are u teaching professional footballers about communication.”

Whilst a fifth commented: “They’ve got no clue what a man with a thick scouse accent is yelling at them and I don’t blame them one bit.”

Another fan said: “I can't begin to imagine the confusion of this with a language barrier.”

Upon being appointed manager, Gerrard said: “I think my message to the supporters is that I am really happy and I am really excited. I am a coach that is very ambitious, that likes to work tirelessly to make sure the team is very competitive and I am looking forward to meeting the supporters and so are my staff.

“I want to be part of that culture from the playing side and try to improve and build relationships with the people above me and hopefully together we can be the support the team needs to get better and move up the table.”

How well do you think Gerrard will do as Al Ettifaq manager? Let us know in the comments.
