Eriksson considering Al Hilal offer, says agent
Having missed out the Aston Villa job, Sven-Goran Eriksson is considering an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, agent Athole Still told ESPNsoccernet.
Eriksson could replace Eric Gerets, who has been appointed as the new coach of Morocco, once Al Hilal's Asian Champions League campaign ends and reports suggest he has been offered a one-year deal worth £1.2 million.
Still told ESPNsoccernet: ''It's a definite possibility, but it is one of three options. Sven is interested in the proposal from Saudi, and it's the biggest club out there.''
Former England boss Eriksson has been out of work since a disappointing World Cup with Ivory Coast. The Swede took control of Les Elephants after leaving his post as director of football with League Two side Notts County in February 2010.
Al Hilal have been crowned Saudi champions on 12 occasions and have two former Premier League players in their squad: ex-Bolton Wanderers midfielder Christian Wilhelmsson and the former Tottenham Hotspur full-back Lee Young-Pyo.
The Riyadh club play the first leg of their Asian Champions League quarter-final against Qatar's Al Gharafa on September 15, but the final is not until November 13, so it could be two months before Eriksson takes charge.
