Al Nassr signs Jorge Jesus as head coach on a year contract

Al-Nassr appointed Portuguese Jorge Jesus on Monday, two months after he left his bitter Saudi pro-League-rival Al-Hilal.

The 70-year-old won the Interior Treble in his second Stint with Al-Hilal in Riyadh in the 2023-2024 season, but left the club in May after it had lost in the AFC Champions League Semifinals to Saudi-Arab side Al-Ahli.

The former Copa Libertadores winner with Flamengo in Brazil, who replaces the Italian Stefano Pioli, has signed a one-year contract with Al-Nassr.

Nine times Saudi champion Al-Nassr has extended the contract of the 40-year-old five-time balloon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo until 2027.
