Arriyadiyah says Imanol has agreed a two-year deal with Al-Shabab chiefs.

He has already visited the club and been given a tour of their training facilities. The Spaniard is now jetting back to Saudi to close the deal.

Imanol chose not to renew his contract at Real Sociedad in May, deciding to leave the job after six years in charge.

He said at the time: "I have always said that I don't feel tired. I think it was the right time to leave and make this decision, and in that sense I am happy. If a good opportunity presents itself, I would be really excited to leave again, but otherwise I am in no rush."
