"It's been two years of total dedication, historic achievements, and immense pride in leading an extraordinary group. 

"Thank you, Al-Hilal. Thank you to everyone who was part of this unforgettable journey. 

"I carry every victory, every challenge, and every applause in my heart." 

Al Hilal are ready to steal away either Mourinho or Nuno ahead of the Club World Cup, which commences on June 15th with the club’s first game coming against current champions Real Madrid on the 18th. 

Forest sit sixth in the Premier League on 60 points and are currently chasing down Champions League qualification after an incredible season. This, along with the fact that Nuno already has experience in Saudi Arabia following a 56-game stint in charge of Al-Ittihad from July 2022 to November 2023 where he led the side to its first league title in 14 year,s could make him the perfect candidate ahead of the new campaign.
