?“It has been an unbelievable and great journey for me and my family.

He created world-class teams with his man-management skills, he brought us back to being believers, winners, and a force in European and world football.

?“For me personally, I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me and my family, for the trust he gave me to do my job to the best I can, the joy, inspiration and the great leadership.”

Achterberg has now been offered the chance to work with Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq.

Achterberg was crucial in the signing of Alisson having initially recommended the goalkeeper, and the Brazilian spoke extremely highly of what the coach brought to the club.

He previously told Liverpool's official website: "John has proved to be not just a great goalkeeping coach but a great guy, a great person.

I believe the relationship between a goalkeeper and the goalkeeping coach needs to be an exchange, with a great deal of trust"
