Ernesto Valverde has been out of the game since leaving Barça in January 2020

Ernesto Valverde has been linked with a job in Saudi Arabia, with the journalist Nicoló Schira claiming Al-Nassr are keen on the former Barcelona coach.

Al-Nassr have lost two of their first five games this season, conceding seven goals, which has forced them to make a change of manager.

Rudi Garcia, the former Lyon coach, is also being considered by the Riyad-based club, who are looking for a new manager after firing Mano Menezes last week.

Valverde's been out of work since leaving Barcelona in 2020. He's also previously coached Athletic Club, Villarreal and Valencia in Spain as well as Greek side Olympiacos.
