The Croat would not be available until May when the Saudi League reaches its conclusion.
The Croat, who guided his native country to a 3-1 victory over Ireland in Euro 2012, would not be in a position to take the job until May, after the conclusion of the Saudi Pro League, where he is currently working with Al-Fateh.
Bilic famously guided Croatia to home and away victories over England in his first managerial gig, when he guided his country to the quarter finals in Euro 2008. He also did a fine job at West Brom - taking them to promotion - but struggled with Watford. A well travelled coach, this is his second stint in the Saudi League, while he has also managed in Russia, Turkey and China.
