Pressure was beginning to mount on him at the time of his departure as Al-Ettifaq were languishing just five points above the relegation zone.
Since leaving the club, Gerrard was linked with vacancies at Derby County and Blackburn in the Championship.
But the ex-Rangers and Aston Villa boss is happy to be away from the dugout, telling That Peter Crouch Podcast: “I don’t want to be back in work, not at the moment.
“I’ve just come out, so I am happy waking up, being free, doing the family stuff and being free from the stress.
“I will go back in at some point but when it is round the clock for 18 months, I just want to be free and do normal things that you can’t do when you are coaching like a game of golf or go down the boozer.
“I want to do normal things that you can’t really do when you’re coaching, so I am all good.
“I’m good and stress free. I’m out of work in terms of the coaching and management, which is obviously 24/7.”
Gerrard is unlikely to be out of the dugout for long though as he still “loves” football.

But he admitted he does not get the same buzz in the dugout as he did on the pitch back in his heyday.
Gerrard explained: “I miss it everyday, every single day, I would love to run it back and do it all again.
“Coaching and management does not fill the void, it is just not the same.
“Don’t get me wrong it is a great job to still be around it, but in terms of the buzz of playing, I didn’t appreciate it enough.”

THIS Celebrity Big Brother star shocked viewers and his fellow housemates with his behaviour, during his time on the show.
In fact, this actor, who shot to fame in the 90s, was actually removed from the Big Brother house because of his actions – but can you guess who this bushy bearded man is?

Jeremy was immediately removed from the house, and later apologised and expressed regret over what he did.
However, after he left the famous compound Hertfordshire Police confirmed he had been cautioned for common assault.
WILD CHILD
Jeremy was just 11-years-old when he landed the role of Hobie in the iconic TV show Baywatch.
He starred alongside his onscreen father David Hasselhof, and his co-stars were legend like Pamela Anderson and Yasmine Bleeth.

However, behind-the-scenes the struggling child star was battling drug addiction.
Jeremy was arrested for manufacturing methamphetamine at 19, and spent 90 days in jail for possession, as well as completing five stints in rehab.
He previously reflected on his downward spiral during an episode of E!’s Child Star Confidential.
“I probably made over $2 to $3 million from Baywatch,’ he said in 2006.

“I had the means to destroy myself. I had a lot of money, and I had a lot of people around me that weren’t really my friends but I thought they were, and I totally got sucked into a downward spiral of a lifestyle.”
“I smoked pot every day, and I did cocaine until it stopped working,” he admitted. “Like, I couldn’t get high off it anymore.”
Jeremy revealed how he was confronted by his co-star David about his drug use.
Recounting the story, he said: “He just kind of looked me in the eyes and was like, ‘Jeremy, what are you smoking, pot?!’
“I didn’t have the heart to tell him, ‘That was years ago — now I’m doing coke and ecstasy and speed.'”
Jeremy previously revealed why he quit BaywatchGetty
Jeremy – who was on Baywatch from 1991 until 1999 – revealed he quit the show after struggling with the pressures of fame at a young age.
“The real deal was that I got a big head and I thought that I was better than Baywatch, or that I was going to go off and do my own stuff,” he candidly revealed.
“I walked off one day with my middle finger up in the air, saying, ‘Screw you, I’m not coming back to this set.’ And I pulled myself off the show.”

21 hours agoViral XComments Off on Healthy woman told she had ’24 hours to live’ after feeling ‘a ripping in her chest’ at the gym
A FIT and healthy woman had a close call with death after feeling a ripping in her chest, followed by a “bubbling” at the gym.
Marie-Anne August first became ill during an exercise session.

Jam Press/Marie-Anne AugustDuring one gym session she felt a ripping in her chest so rushed off to hospital[/caption]
The 45-year-old fitness addict was rushed to Torbay Hospital in Devon, where she was seen by a consultant and had blood tests and an ECG.
The results came back, and Marie-Anne was sent home with a clean bill of health – despite markers allegedly indicating possible aortic dissection.
Two days later, her family grew increasingly concerned – saying she “didn’t look right” and pushed her to go back to the hospital.
“I couldn’t breathe and the pain was absolutely excruciating,” the NHS communications worker from Newton Abbot, Devon, said.
“The diagnosis took me by surprise because I thought I was so fit.
“When the aortic dissection happened, I felt a ripping in my chest, followed by a bubbling feeling.
“I have always been very active and played lots of sports and have been going to the gym nearly my whole life.
“I believe that being fit and healthy is the reason I survived two days when I was initially turned away from A&E.
“I wasn’t upset at being discharged the first time as I didn’t know what was happening, although I did feel very ill.
“An aortic dissection is very difficult for the doctors to spot unless you have a CT scan.
“I also understand how rare it is and how infrequently medical teams must see dissections.
“But I do feel disappointed it wasn’t picked up now I know how serious it was.
“It’s not their fault but more awareness and education within A&E is essential because many people aren’t as lucky as me.”
Aortic dissection is most common in people aged over 65, with 35 cases per 100,000 people per year in that age group.
It is when the wall of the aorta tears, causing blood to leak between the layers that make up the walls of the arteries.
Marie-Anne was rushed into open heart surgery at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
I didn’t realise how serious it was until I got to the hospital, then was told I had less than 24 hours to live
Marie-Anne August
She said: “I was absolutely terrified.
“I didn’t realise how serious it was until I got to the hospital, then was told I had less than 24 hours to live and that they had to operate immediately.
“They also listed all the complications that could occur – stroke, loss of limbs, paralysis and lots of other things.
Marie-Anne added: “Five days after the operation I was back at home.
“I think I recovered quicker than some.
“I didn’t really have any guidance as to what I could and couldn’t do.
“But I was in so much pain post-operation for the first month that I couldn’t do much [beyond] going for slow walks with my dad.”
It’s now been nearly a year since Marie-Anne’s close call with death on 24 April 2024.

Jam Press/Marie-Anne AugustSadly, because of her ordeal, Marie-Anne can no longer do high-intensity exercise[/caption]
With the help of family and friends, she’s recovered enough to return to work.
But while she’s out of immediate danger, the fitness addict – who loves CrossFit, playing tennis and swimming – can’t do certain sports.
She can no longer run fast, ski, water ski, or do high-intensity exercise, amongst other things.
She added: “I’m doing OK now.
“I have residual damage to my aorta so I need to watch what I do and monitor my blood pressure.
“I am trying to find my feet but overall I’m doing much better than expected.
It’s such a change – from being someone who is quite fit and active – to all the things I can’t do
Marie-Anne August
“But it’s such a change – from being someone who is quite fit and active – to all the things I can’t do.
“And that makes me very sad.
“Not being able to do what I did before is the biggest adjustment for me and with no real guidance as to what to do safely it causes a lot of fear.
“But I’m pretty determined to figure out what I can do safely.
“My gym’s been really great helping me with cardiac rehab.
“And I’m determined to get back to full health if possible with my limitations.”
A spokesperson on behalf of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust said: “Anyone who has concerns over the care they are receiving is encouraged to discuss this with the ward teams and ward matrons during their time at the hospital; patients can also speak with our Patient Advice and Liaison Service for any unresolved concerns.
“Due to patient confidentiality, we are unable to discuss individual matters.”
What is aortic dissection?
AORTIC dissection is a life-threatening condition where a tear in the inner layer of the aorta (the body’s main artery) allows blood to flow between the layers of the artery wall, potentially leading to a rupture and severely compromised blood flow.
The NHS says people aged less than 60 years old are most likely have a pre-existing weakness of the middle layer of the aortic wall.
This can be inherited, or it can be the result of a new change to a gene (‘new gene mutation’).
In people over 60 years, then the likely cause is stiffening of the middle layer of the aorta with ageing, a process made worse by high blood pressure and smoking.
Aortic dissection can also occur following any aortic surgery and is more common in aortas that have already enlarged (aortic aneurysm).
Symptoms include sudden, severe chest, back, or abdominal pain, often described as tearing or ripping, and can also include stroke-like symptoms, loss of consciousness, shortness of breath, and a weak pulse.
Treatment may include surgery or medications, depending on the area of the aorta involved.

21 hours agoViral XComments Off on I paid £2 for an antique shop ring – people said it could be worth £1k so I got it valued & was stunned by the results
SHE picked up a cute ring for just £2 from an antique shop 10 years ago.
But after one woman found herself inundated with requests to get the ring valued, she started to wonder whether or not it could actually be worth some cash.
A woman has explained how she picked up a ring for £2 from an antiques shoptiktok/@twistedtreasuresectPeople suggested she should go and get the ring valued after saying it looked expensivetiktok/@twistedtreasuresectSo she took the ring, which she bought 10 years ago, to a few places to get it valuedtiktok/@twistedtreasuresectThis was after she had put a picture of the ring in Google Lens, and it had given her a rough guess about the accessorytiktok/@twistedtreasuresect
“I paid £2 for it initially when I first bought it from an antique shop, and it’s just been sat on my shelf ever since then.”
She’s even nearly thrown it away a few times, because she’s just “forgotten it’s there”.
“Then I decided to Google Lens it yesterday, and it came up with listings that started at about £370 and went all up to £1000,” she continued.
“Now I’m taking it to go and be valued today, so hopefully we’ll get a rough estimate.”
She added she thinks the band is gold because it’s got marking on it, but wasn’t sure whether the stones were actually ruby and diamond – as they appeared to be.
“Could it be worth up to £1000? Who knows?” she mused.
“These are just some of the listings that come up, and they look absolutely identical, but we’ll see.”
“Imagine the mental profit % if it is though!” she added in the video caption.
She then returned to TikTok a few days later after getting the ring valued at a few different places so she could get an average.
While the value they gave differed, she explained they were all set on what the ring was made of – 9 carat gold, ruby and diamond.
“The value in gold weight alone is between £45 and £50, depending where you went,” she added.
“But the resale value, you’re looking anywhere from about £200 to upwards of £500.
“And it’s basically gonna be whatever people are willing to pay for it.”
Having looked online, she said the value she was going to go for was about £350, and was considering putting it up at auction.
She captioned the video: “POV: You thought you were just popping into the antique shop for a browse and accidentally walked out with a £500 ring for £2.
Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain
Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London.
Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
“I’m basically a treasure hunter now!”
People were quick to comment on the TikToks too, with one writing: “I have that ring my husband paid £80 secondhand.
“It is my engagement ring and I love it.”
“Don’t sell it, just keep it, it will always be worth more than you paid for it,” another added.
“Used retail would be around £300, trade price to sell around £100-130 used, private price around £200.”
“I’d pay around £350-£370, it’s lovely,” a third commented.
” If you auction it with a starting bid of £5,” someone else said.
“You will get a real interest.”
The reseller explained that since she’s started her TwistedTreasures business – alongside her brother and sister – she’s inspired her nine-year-old daughter to try and do the same in a bid to raise some money for a new PC.
She also buys clothes in bulk from a local charity shop and does hand embroidery on them to sell and stop them going to landfill.
While there were differing thoughts about the ring’s resale value, all the estimators said it was made of nine carat gold, ruby and diamondtiktok/@twistedtreasuresect
