Former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is in talks with Middle Eastern clubs.
The People says he is thrashing out the terms of a job in oil-rich Qatar which would net him £3.5million a year.
The ex-Reds chief, who walked away from Anfield with a pay-off in excess of £7m last month, flew out to meet his prospective new employers with his agent 10 days ago.
Rodgers, 42, initially wanted a break from the game after getting the sack last month.
But with his stock still high, he has been enticed by the riches on offer in tax-free Qatar.
