Nuno Espírito Santo is floated as an Al-Ahli option.

Al-Ahli's uneven results have brought growing calls for coach Marino Pušić to leave, and Nuno Espírito Santo is being discussed by commentators as a possible successor. The appeal is easy to see: during his previous spell with Al-Ittihad, Nuno won the league and the Saudi Super Cup. Analyst Imad Al-Salmi said his abilities could help Al-Ahli regain its balance, while commentator Mohammed Al-Sheikh backed the idea but said the club should settle Pušić's situation first. For now, the case for Nuno is being made in the media; there has been no official announcement of negotiations or an agreement between the parties.
