LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) John Terry is set to follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard and make his way to Saudi Arabia, where he will take on the role of sporting director for the Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab, as reported by Sports Zone.
Terry, a former English football star who previously served as an assistant manager at Aston Villa and Leeds United, is currently involved with the Chelsea academy.

The 42-year-old has apparently opted for a short-term role with Al-Shabab instead of pursuing a managerial position.
Currently, Al-Shabab finds themselves in the lower half of the league table, having secured just eight points from their initial seven games.
Their next challenge awaits against the formidable Al-Hilal in a Saudi Pro League clash scheduled for Friday.
