Slot turned down millions? The Liverpool coach chooses between Saudi Arabia and Europe

Slot is weighing his options carefully.

Details: Arne Slot has emerged as one of the top contenders for the head coach position at Al-Ahli. According to journalist and insider Ben Jacobs, the Saudi club views the Dutch tactician as a leading candidate to replace Matthias Jaissle, who is expected to continue his career at Newcastle.

Despite the interest from one of the most ambitious clubs in the Saudi Pro League, Slot himself is in no hurry to accept the offer. Reports indicate that the 47-year-old coach is determined to prioritize his career in Europe, where he hopes to take charge of one of the continent’s elite clubs.

Negotiations regarding the coaching role are ongoing, but Slot’s stance remains unchanged. That’s why Al-Ahli is simultaneously considering alternative candidates, in case an agreement with the Dutch manager cannot be reached.

The situation could develop in the coming weeks, as the Saudi club is eager to appoint a new head coach as soon as possible ahead of the new season.

Arne Slot’s most recent job was at English side Liverpool, which he left in May of this year.
