Paul Mitchell will leave Newcastle United when his sports director contract expires on June 30. The English club already announced his departure from the position he held for almost one year. Mitchell started working at Newcastle last July after Dan Ashworth left the same job. Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal wants Mitchell to become their new sports director. The Middle Eastern club sees him as a top candidate for their vacant position.
Al-Hilal has three people on their shortlist for the sports director role. Press reports say Mitchell made the final cut for consideration at the Saudi club. The team might wait before making any hiring decisions about the position. Al-Hilal prefers to find a head coach first before choosing their sports director. Club officials want to coordinate both appointments together.
Al-Hilal targets Italian coach Simone Inzaghi from Inter Milan for their coaching job. The Saudi team wants him to lead the squad during their upcoming Club World Cup match. Real Madrid will face Al-Hilal on June 18 during the tournament. Inzaghi currently coaches Inter Milan and has achieved success with the Italian club. Al-Hilal hopes to convince him to join their ambitious project.
