Former Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou, has been lined up as a potential replacement for Matthias Jaissle by Saudi Arabia Al-Ahli.
According to the latest transfer news, the Pro League runners-up Al-Ahli are believed to be interested in Postecoglou weeks after he was sacked by Spurs.
Al-Ahli are understood to be looking at Postecoglou as a possible target should highly rated German coach Jaissle leave for RB Leipzig this summer.
Jaissle led the club to an AFC Champions League triumph in May when they defeated Kawasaki Frontale in the final, with a team featuring Ivan Toney, Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Edouard Mendy.
The 37-year-old has now been tipped to return to Europe and was previously linked with the West Ham job before Graham Potter’s appointment.
Al-Ahli reportedly pay Jaissle £ 9.6 million a year, which would make him the third highest paid manager in the Premier League.
Postecoglou received a £ 5 million payoff from Spurs after his sacking, along with a £ 2 million bonus for winning the Europa League and qualification for next season’s Champions League in Bilbao.
He has previously worked in Asia when he was at Yokohama F Marinos in Japan and won the J1 League prior to winning the title with Celtic.
The Aussie, 59, was sacked by Daniel Levy just 16 days after ending Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought with their Europa League triumph over Manchester United.
SunSport had exclusively revealed earlier that Postecoglou has been lined up with a lucrative return to management.
According to the report, clubs in Europe are eyeing Postecoglou days after his dismissal following a dismal Premier League season with Spurs.
