Former Liverpool boss Arne Slot is prioritising a return to club management in Europe's major leagues, despite links to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli on Thursday.
Al-Ahli's current manager, Matthias Jassle, is the leading contender to replace Eddie Howe at Newcastle.
But BBC Sport understands Slot is focused on remaining in Europe and is targeting a return, as and when the right opportunity presents itself.
Slot won the Premier League title with Liverpool in 2024-25 but was replaced by Andoni Iraola after the end of last season.
He was in charge of Feyenoord between 2021 and 2024, winning the Eredivisie in 2023.
