Portuguese tactician Jorge Jesus has reached an agreement to become the new head coach of Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr.
According to multiple reports, including transfer expert Santi Aouna, a deal has been finalised, and the former Al Hilal boss will be officially unveiled in the coming days.
Jesus, who previously led Al Hilal to success in the Saudi league, returns to familiar territory as he takes charge of one of the region’s most ambitious clubs.
His appointment comes on the heels of Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to extend his stay at Al Nassr with a record-breaking contract, underlining the club’s intent to dominate both domestically and in Asian competitions.
The 69-year-old’s arrival was reportedly approved by Ronaldo himself, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner giving the green light to the club’s managerial choice.
Jesus’ extensive experience, attacking philosophy, and familiarity with the Saudi league are seen as key factors in Al Nassr’s decision.
Al Nassr have shown their determination to build a powerhouse around Ronaldo, and Jesus’ appointment is a clear signal of their commitment to strengthening the team’s structure and leadership.
The club is aiming to bounce back from a mixed campaign and make a stronger push for league and continental titles.
Jesus is expected to begin work immediately, with pre-season preparations underway and squad reinforcement plans already in motion.
With one of football’s most iconic players and a highly experienced coach now aligned, Al Nassr fans will be watching eagerly to see how this new chapter unfolds.
