Jumping ship? Jesus in talks with Al-Hilal’s rivals | OneFootball

Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus is in negotiations to take over the reins of Al Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, a club seeking a new coach after confirming the departure of Stefano Pioli, this Wednesday (25).

The information comes from the website Footmercato, which points to the name of Jorge Jesus — former Al Hilal — as the main option for the Saudi board at this time.

According to the publication, the club has already started talks with the 69-year-old coach's agent to assess the possibility of a return to the country.

Jesus has been without a club since he left Al Hilal, precisely one of Al-Nassr's biggest rivals, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mané, as one of the great coaches of the Saudi club.

At the helm of Al-Hilal, the Portuguese coach achieved the longest winning streak in world football history, with 34 consecutive victories.

In addition to his success in Arab football, Jorge Jesus is highly esteemed in Brazil for his victorious stint with Flamengo, with whom he won the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2019.

His name was even considered to take over the Brazilian national team before the deal with Carlo Ancelotti.
