JAKARTA - Arne Slot plans to return to coaching clubs in Europe's major leagues even though he is reportedly the leading candidate to replace Matthias Jaissle - who will join Newcastle United - in the coaching seat of the Saudi Arabian Pro League (SPL) club, Al Ahli.
The 47-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by Liverpool in May 2026 after two seasons in charge at Anfield.
The former Feyenoord coach won the English League title at Liverpool in his first season after the departure of Jurgen Klopp, but he left the club at the end of last season with one year left on his contract before being replaced by Andoni Iraola.
ESPN reported that Arne Slot had been contacted by clubs in England, Germany, and Italy this summer after his departure from Liverpool. He was also mentioned in the Netherlands as a potential candidate to replace Ronald Koeman as coach of the Dutch National Team after being eliminated in the 2026 World Cup 32-team round.
However, this week Arne Slot's name echoed in Jeddah. Al Ahli are interested in recruiting the head coach to replace Jaissle who is likely to move to Newcastle United to occupy the seat left by Eddie Howe.
Only, Arne Slot still prioritizes returning to European football rather than having to anchor in Saudi Arabia.
