The Athletic famous reporter Ornstein reported that the Jeddah nationals had contacted Postkoglu. If this AFC Champions League champion team decides to change coaches, both Aobo and former Barcelona coach Xavi will become candidates.

Yasle's contract with Jeddah nationals was originally scheduled to expire in 2026, but he has refused to renew his contract many times, prompting the club to quickly start negotiations with other candidates, among which contact with Postkoglu has made the fastest progress. Yaisler just led the team to win the AFC Champions League for the first time in May, and has a high reputation among fans. His potential departure will trigger a complicated situation.

Although Postkoglu led Tottenham to beat Manchester United to win the UEFA Cup in May this year (the club's first important trophy in 17 years), the 17th place in the Premier League resulted in his suspension in June. Brentford coach Thomas Frank has since taken over to Tottenham coach, while Xavi has been unemployed since being fired by Barcelona in May 2024.

The potential successor will take over a team with stars such as Mahrez, Firmino and Ivan Tony. As one of the four teams taken over by the Saudi Public Investment Fund in 2023, Jeddah Nationals has attracted a large number of overseas stars through heavy signings in recent years. If joined, this will be Postkoglu's first coaching Saudi team, and his coaching resume has covered Australia, Greece, Japan, Scotland and England.

In his first season as Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, he led the team to fifth in the Premier League. However, the team won only 11 league games in the 2024-25 season, and encountered six rounds of defeats from April to May, December to January. The 22 losses in a single season set the worst record for teams not relegated under the 38-round Premier League match system. The injury surge has become an important factor, with 14 players including Solank, Johnson, Bisuma, and others absent for a long time.

Harvey announced his resignation at the end of the season in January 2024, and was persuaded to remain in office in April, but was suddenly fired 30 days later. He won the La Liga championship in the first season in coaching Barcelona, ​​but was left by Real Madrid 10 points the next season.

37-year-old Yaisler switched to Al Ahli from Salzburg Red Bull in 2023, leading the team to Saudi Arabia United's third place in the first quarter, and won the Asian Championship the second season.
