Former Chelsea stalwart and football legend John Terry is poised to join his compatriot Steven Gerrard in the world of Saudi Arabian football by taking on the role of Sporting Director at Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Shabab.
After Gerrard’s successful venture in Saudi Arabia, Terry is set to make a similar move, aiming to contribute to Al-Shabab’s future endeavors. The decision comes after Terry reportedly declined a managerial role, preferring to step into the club as their sporting director on a short-term basis.
Terry, renowned for his illustrious career at Chelsea, has recently been involved in coaching at the Chelsea academy. Despite his extensive managerial experience as an assistant at clubs like Aston Villa and Leeds United, he seems eager to take on this new challenge in a different capacity.
Al-Shabab, currently struggling in the lower half of the league table with just eight points from their initial seven games, will be hoping Terry’s involvement will help revitalize their campaign. Their next match presents a formidable test as they face league giants Al-Hilal in a crucial Saudi Pro League clash.
As two English football icons venture into Saudi Arabian football, their presence is expected to bring further excitement and attention to the evolving landscape of the Saudi Pro League.
