Pyramids FC coach Krunoslav Jurcic has reportedly received a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia amidst Rulani Mokwena's ongoing links with the Egyptian club.
Despite an impressive 2024/25 season with the Sky Blues, Jurcic’s future in the Egyptian Premier League outfit is said to be uncertain.

The Croatian tactician helped the fast-growing Pyramids to win their first-ever CAF Champions League title and secure a second-place finish in the league standings last season. They beat Mamelodi Sundowns in the final.
Pyramids missed out on the league title to Al Ahly on the final day of the season, having occupied the first position for most of the campaign. However, recent reports from across the continent suggest that the outspoken tactician may be on his way out.
While Jurcic appeared poised to stay, a new report from Cairo24.com claims he has been offered a tempting $3 million (approximately R54 million) per season by an unnamed Saudi Arabian club.
If the 55-year-old mentor eventually leaves the Sky Blues, it could open the door for Mokwena, who has long been linked with Pyramids.
The 38-year-old South African coach parted ways with Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club toward the end of last season after the club cited a poor run of results.

Alongside Pyramids, Mokwena is reportedly also on the shortlist of Algerian side MC Alger, who recently parted ways with head coach Khaled Ben Yahia following the conclusion of his six-month contract.
Moreover, the former Sundowns mentor is said to have turned down offers from the Gulf region, feeling it is not the right time to commit to any project there.
