Airbus UK Broughton Overview

Al-Ittihad have identified Jurgen Klopp as their preferred candidate to become the club's next manager. However, the former Liverpool boss' representative has firmly ruled out any move to Saudi Arabia this year as Klopp remains focused on his role with Red Bull.

Sergio Conceicao is set to leave Al-Ittihad after a short-lived tenure in the Saudi Pro League. The former Porto boss reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract after losing the fierce league title race to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, concluding a frustrating campaign that saw the Jeddah-based giants fall short of their lofty expectations.
