The recent flow of talent from Europe to Saudi Arabia isn't limited to players, as high-profile managers like Slaven Bilic and Steven Gerrard have joined the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar in the Middle Eastern circuit.
As the league gains more notoreity, an increasing number of managers have been linked to jobs in the Saudi Pro League.
Steve Bruce, who has managed more than a dozen English clubs in his career, has been away from the sidelines since leaving West Brom last year. The 62-year-old says his name has been bandied about for Saudi Arabian jobs, but nothing concrete has come of the rumours.
Speaking to Gambling Zone, Bruce stressed that while he's been selective with his future prospects, he wouldn't reject the idea of coaching in Saudi Arabia — if the right offer comes along.
"I've had many people ask me if I'd go to Saudi Arabia, and the simple answer is - I'm not going to reveal anything," Bruce said. "I've turned down a number of clubs recently as I didn't think they were quite right.
"I'd be open to a job abroad if it comes up - I'm very open-minded."
