Jorge Jesus Returns to Saudi League as Al-Nassr's New Coach

Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus has officially signed a one-year contract to lead Al‑Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, following his departure from rival club Al‑Hilal two months ago.

His previous season with Al‑Hilal was marked by success - a domestic treble and a deep run in the AFC Champions League - before he exited in May after a semifinal defeat to Al‑Ahli. Al‑Nassr confirmed the signing in a post on X (formerly Twitter), noting that the move is intended to revitalise their coaching staff under the management of Stefano Pioli’s predecessor .

The reigning nine-time Saudi champions also recently extended Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract.
