- Jesus is expected to arrive in Riyadh on Monday to sign a contract and begin pre-season preparations
RIYADH: Portuguese media have reported that Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr have reached an agreement with coach Jorge Jesus to take charge of the club鈥檚 first team ahead of the 2025-26 season.
According to A Bola, one of Portugal鈥檚 leading sports newspapers, Jesus is expected to arrive in Riyadh on Monday to sign a contract and begin pre-season preparations.
The deal is reportedly for one year with an option to extend, and is being described as one of the most high-profile managerial moves of the summer considering Jesus鈥� time with Al-Hilal.
While Al-Nassr has yet to confirm the appointment, the return of Jesus to the Saudi Pro League, this time with Al-Hilal鈥檚 fierce rivals, would mark a major development ahead of the new season.
Reports also suggest that Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo played a key role in endorsing Jesus for the job, owing to their close relationship and Ronaldo鈥檚 belief in the coach鈥檚 ability to lead Al-Nassr back to silverware.
