ANALYSIS Manchester City, Sevilla, West Ham United and largely forgettable European finals
Despite being narrative-laden — Pep Guardiola claiming the treble, the LaLiga side solidifying themselves as Europa League Kings and the Hammers ending a 43-year trophy wait — the 2022-23 continental deciders will not live long in the memory.
The former Rangers manager made a name for himself after helping the Scottish side win the league in 2021 before joining Aston Villa.
After one and a half years with Aston Villa, he was sacked by the management for poor performance with the club languishing in the relegation zone.
However, according to reports, he is set to become Al Ettifaq's new manager and will join the likes of Benzema and Kante in Saudi Arabia.

Unai Emery's Aston Villa have reportedly agreed a deal for Youri Tielemans.
As he prepares to accept the Al-Ettifaq position, Gerrard has reportedly landed in Saudi Arabia, according to writer Romain Molina on Twitter as reported by Daily Mail.
The 43-year-old name came up for the role over the weekend, and it now seems like he will soon be hired.
Given that Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in January, Gerrard could be the most well-known person to move to Saudi Arabia.
