Al-Ittihad reportedly willing to offer Conte €20m salary to become head coach
Al-Ittihad, one of Saudi Arabia's most prominent clubs, are looking for a new head coach and have set their sights on Antonio Conte. The Italian tactician has been without a club since departing Napoli and is reportedly Al-Ittihad's top target. The reported €20m salary offer would place Conte among the highest-paid coaches in world football. This follows the Saudi Pro League's trend of attracting top European managerial talent with lucrative financial packages.

His potential move to the Saudi Pro League would reinforce the league's strategy of luring elite-level coaches, following moves by Nuno Espírito Santo and others. For Al-Ittihad, who have been underperforming relative to expectations, hiring Conte would represent a major statement of intent, though the Saudi league's demanding schedule and expectations create both opportunity and risk.
