Fans and pundits are calling for him to resign following a shock exit from the King Cup.

It’s a gig that has made Gerrard, 44, one of the highest paid managers in the world – earning a whopping £15.2million-per-year.

That epic salary has allowed him, and their kids to live an exclusive life in the Middle East.

Rather than live in strict Saudi Arabia, they reside in the more Westernised Bahrain.

They rent a £10,000-per-month home on a private estate in the Hamala Village.

While Wag Alex, 42, enjoys her time at the Bahrain World Trade Center in Manama, where she gets her shopping fix at the various designer outlets.

SunSport looks at how the family is living their best life as expats.

Amazing mansion

Gerrard is one of the highest paid managers in world football, which allows him and his family to enjoy an incredible lifestyle.

When he joined Al-Ettifaq, the club gave him a stunning villa in Dammam to stay in.

Occasionally he uses it, but he also rents a mansion in the Hamala area of Bahrain for £10,000-per-month.

Many expats have complained about the strict rules regarding alcohol in Saudi Arabia.

So plenty opt for a live across the border in Bahrain, which is an hour’s drive for Gerrard who goes back and forth to the Gulf nation.

The Gerrards property features six large bedrooms, a swimming pool, tennis court and games room. It’s in a compound behind a high gate, so their privacy is respected.

Steven and Alex often share images of their family house on social media – beaming in photos and looking the picture of health.

Neighbours include members of the Bahraini Royal family.

One of Alex’s favourite spots is the Manama’s World Trade Centre.

There, she shops at boutiques including Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Versace.

The Avenues, a stylish waterfront shopping centre, is also another place Alex is fond of and offers high-street brands like H&M and Adidas.

Steven and Alex’s three youngest kids are enrolled at Bahrain’s most exclusive English language school.
