Jorge Jesus Set to Take Over as Al-Nassr
According to reports from A Bola, Al Nassr have reached a preliminary agreement with the experienced Portuguese manager, with plans to finalise the deal next week.
The Saudi powerhouse are determined to bring in a coach with a proven ability to win trophies and sees Jesus as the ideal candidate.
The club is prepared to offer him a contract running until 2027, although salary details and other terms are still under negotiation between both parties.
How Jorge Jesus fared at Al Hilal
It’s worth noting that Jorge Jesus recently departed Al-Hilal at the end of the season, following a challenging campaign, despite having secured the league title just two seasons prior.
During his first season in charge, Jesus made history by setting a world record for the most consecutive wins in top-flight football, recording an incredible 34 straight victories.

That remarkable run came to an end in April, when Al-Hilal suffered a 4-2 defeat to Al Ain in the Asian Champions League semi-finals.
Jesus officially left Al-Hilal in May after leading them to multiple domestic triumphs, including the Saudi Pro League, King’s Cup, and Super Cup.
While Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo have never worked together, the Portuguese coach has previously praised the 40-year-old striker for his dedication, work ethic, and professionalism.
