Ange Postecoglou is in talks over making a swift return to the dugout after leaving Tottenham.
The Australian led Spurs to their first trophy since 2008 with victory in the Europa League final over Manchester United last month.
Postecoglou made it clear that he wanted to stay at Spurs and at the club’s trophy parade declared that “season three is always better than season two”.
However, Daniel Levy made the decision to sack Postecoglou, with European silverware not enough to make up for the club finishing 17th in the Premier League, and he has been replaced by Thomas Frank.
The Athletic report that Postecoglou could soon find himself back in management, as Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli consider him as their next manager.
It’s claimed that Al-Ahli have made contact with Postecoglou and talks are moving quickly.
Matthias Jaissle is still in charge of the Saudi club and led the club to AFC Champions League glory last month, but he has only one year left on his current contract and has turned down several extension offers.
Former Barcelona boss Xavi is also on the shortlist for Al-Ahli, but conversations have taken place with Postecoglou.
Al-Ahli finished fifth in the Saudi Pro League last season and have a number of former Premier League stars in their ranks.
Roberto Firmino starred in the AFC Champions League final win over Kawasaki, while Ivan Toney leads the line for the club.
Former Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez and ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy are also in the squad, along with midfield Franck Kessie.
