Brendan Rodgers is set to join Al-Qadsiah as head coach to lead the Saudi Pro League club aiming for regional dominance and a new stadium opening in 2026.
- On Sunday, December 14, 2025, Al-Qadsiah created a vacancy by sacking Michel Gonzalez, and Brendan Rodgers, former Celtic and Leicester City manager, is travelling to Saudi Arabia to finalise terms.

- Rodgers would return to management just six weeks after his exit, poised to join James Bisgrove at Al-Qadsiah as the club rebuilds its project.
- There is currently no official confirmation, but Rodgers' track record includes 11 trophies and nearly 18 years of managerial experience, all outside the UK if the deal proceeds.
