AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly made a decision on the chance to join Al-Ahli following the departure of Pitso Mosimane.
Mosimane announced his departure on Thursday after guiding the side to promotion and the Saudi Arabian First Division title during his spell with the club.
The club reportedly wanted Mourinho to be their next coach after gaining promotion, with the league recently attracting the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

However, Sky Italia have reported that Mourinho met with Al-Ahli's president in London and informed him he did not want the job.
Mourinho's future was in question in the latter parts of the season but revealed after the UEFA Europa League final that he will stay.
"I have to fight for these lads and therefore not say objectively that I will remain," Mourinho said after the final, as per ESPN.
"I spoke to the club in December when I had that approach from the Portuguese national team.
"I have not had any contact with anyone else since then. I have a year left on my contract and this is the situation."
