Sources have confirmed that Zlatko Dalic, the head coach of the Croatian national team, has entered the radar of Al Hilal's management to take over the first team coaching position, succeeding Portuguese Jorge Jesus.

According to media sources, Zlatko has become a candidate to coach Al Hilal for the upcoming season, after negotiations with several coaches to lead the team in the FIFA Club World Cup stumbled.

The management of Al Hilal is considering signing Zlatko, especially since he previously coached the team in the 2012/13 season for 20 matches after being the coach of the under-23 team.

It is noteworthy that Mohammed Al-Shalhoub is temporarily in charge of coaching Al Hilal until the end of the current season, pending the hiring of a new foreign coach.
