Kooora says Conte is an Al-Ahli option.

Al-Ahli are still searching for a coach as they weigh Marino Pušić’s future, with Kooora reporting that Antonio Conte is one of the names under consideration alongside Nuno Santo. But the choice isn’t just about picking a famous manager. Kooora says Al-Ahli would need to account for about €7.5 million in obligations left on Pušić’s contract before deciding on his dismissal. Conte could also mean a high bill for his salary and coaching staff; Kooora characterizes him as preferring to take charge at the start of a season rather than inherit a team midway through one. Then there’s the question of whether Al-Ahli can offer a clear sporting project, squad support and technical authority.
