Jorge Jesus one step away from becoming new Al Nassr coach

According to A Bola, Jorge Jesus – who previously competed with Carlo Ancelotti for the Brazil national team coaching position – is now on the verge of agreement with Al Nassr.

The Saudi Arabian club has just dismissed Stefano Pioli – a decision marking their fourth coaching change since Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival two and a half years ago.

Since Ronaldo’s joining, Al Nassr has only secured one trophy – the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023. Failure to win the league title has led to continuous coaching changes.

• Rudi Garcia (2022-2023)
• Dinko Jelicic (interim 2023)
• Luis Castro (2023-2024)
• Stefano Pioli (2024-2025)

The appointment of Jesus – who shares Portuguese nationality with Ronaldo – appears to be the club’s effort to please their star player who recently extended his contract.
