Ex-Germany coach Flick sounded out by Al-Ittihad with Nuno fighting for job

Nuno Espirito Santo is fighting for his job at Saudi giants Al-Ittihad.

The former Tottenham and Wolves manager is sitting in sixth place on the SPL table, despite a mega spending spree over the summer.

Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kanté, Fabinho, Luiz Felipe and Jota were all brought in, but Al-Ittihad are struggling and are without a win in five SPL games.

Further, there was the shock Champions League defeat to Al Quwa Al Jawiya of Iraq last week.

As such, management are considering Nuno's position and feelers have been sent out to former Germany and Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick.

TMW says the weekend's clash with Abha could be make or break for Nuno.
