Saudia Arabia's soccer chiefs are head-hunting former Liverpool pair Gerard Houllier and Rick Parry to sort out their football.
The oil-rich government plan to recruit former Kop chief Houllier as their new director of football to oversee the national team and their top sides.
Houllier is in charge of France's football empire and could even be allowed to do both jobs - although the cash in the Middle East may tempt him to go there full-time.
Parry is also being chased to run the administrative side of the Saudi game. He is available after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season and has wide knowledge.
The Saudis are fuming that they missed out on the World Cup finals next summer after some disastrous results and they believe that bringing in two of Anfield's old boys will sort out the game from the top down.
