Sources say the 52-year-old Northern Irish manager is travelling to Saudi Arabia to finalize talks and complete the deal. The club wants a quick decision to ensure stability ahead of the January transfer window.

Al Qadsiah had promised fans that a new coach would be named soon. Several candidates were interviewed, but Rodgers emerged as the top choice due to his strong record and experience at elite clubs.

Rodgers has managed well-known teams including Swansea City, Liverpool, Leicester City, and Celtic. His recent spell at Celtic was highly successful, where he won multiple trophies and recorded a club-best win rate of 75.5 percent.

According to The Athletic, the Aramco-owned club is also preparing to move into a new stadium next year. Club officials believe appointing a high-profile coach now will help shape the team’s future on and off the pitch.
