Hint over Ange Postecoglou’s next club after Tottenham sacking, link to big-money suitor emerges

Ange Postecoglou might soon have a new job as reports suggest a trophy-winning club have set their sights on the Australian manager.

Ange Postecoglou’s next job may be with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, according to reports from The Telegraph.

The Asian Champions League winners may be on the hunt for a new manager with current boss Matthias Jaissle possibly set to return to Europe.

The German has been linked with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig, and was previously among the contenders for the West Ham gig in the English Premier League before Graham Potter was appointed by the East London club.

Should Jaissle depart, Postecoglou is believed to be Al-Ahli’s target as replacement.

A squad, which includes the likes of former Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino, former Leicester and Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, former Brentford striker Ivan Toney and former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, hoisted the AFC Champions League trophy aloft in May after defeating Japanese side Kawasaki 2-0 in the final.

But, they finished fifth in the Saudi Pro League, 16 behinds champions Al-Ittihad, who boasts former Real Madrid goal scoring machine Karim Benzema, former Leicester and Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante and one-time Liverpool midfielder Fabinho among their ranks.

Postecoglou is tipped to receive offers from several clubs throughout the northern hemisphere after his sacking from Tottenham.

Winning the Europa League trophy, ending Spurs 17-year trophy drought, and 41-year year European trophy drought, proved once again that the Australian is a manager who can deliver success.

Upon his two-year spell with Tottenham coming to an end off the back of a poor league campaign, Postecoglou did not announce his future plans.

Taking on the Al-Ahli job would be a return to Asian football for the 59-year-old, having previously won Japan’s top flight with Yokohama F. Marinos before winning the domestic treble with Scottish giants Celtic.
