Al-Ahli are one of four clubs part of the PIF umbrella. The Public Investment Fund is the same company that owns Newcastle United and there is certainly a lot of money to play with for the four sides who are under the umbrella.
One of the clubs, as mentioned, is Al-Ahli. The club are currently managerless following their decision to sack Pitso Mosimane after payment disputes curtailed the club’s season according to GOAL.
Mosimane only lasted eight months in the Middle East before being relieved of his duties.
The manager that has seemingly been chosen to replace the South African manager is RB Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle according to Fabrizio Romano.
The German was previously linked with the Sunderland job, but only if Tony Mowbray left his job, the 59-year-old stayed so the German was out of the running.
However, it now seems, according to Romano, that the German manager will be heading to Al-Ahli.
The Saudi side, who play their games at the 10,000-capacity Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium, have made some interesting additions to their squad this summer.
Firmino and Mendy could be joined by Mahrez
Al-Ahli have made some interesting additions this summer, Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino are the pick of the bunch so far. But, it doesn’t stop there for the Saudi Arabian side.
Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has been heavily linked with the Middle Eastern side and could make the move following an agreement on the fee for the Algerian winger according to Sky Sports.
The fee, according to the same report, is £30 million, which would represent a huge bargain for the side hoping for a new resurgence this season.
As well as this, Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin has also been heavily linked with a move to the Saudi side.
An attack that could potentially feature Saint-Maximin, as well as Firmino and Mahrez, two iconic players of the 2010s, is a danger for any side in the Saudi Pro League.
