Former Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde is being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Italian journalist Nicoló Schira reports Al-Nassr are keen on Valverde.

Al-Nassr have lost two of their first five games this season, conceding seven goals, which has forced them to make a change of manager.

Rudi Garcia, the former Lyon coach, is also being considered by the Riyad-based club, who are looking for a new manager after firing Mano Menezes last week.

Valverde's been out of work since leaving Barcelona in 2020. He's also previously coached Athletic Club, Villarreal and Valencia in Spain as well as Greek side Olympiacos.
