Major changes are brewing in Saudi Arabia as Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus has confirmed he will not extend his contract with Al-Nassr, set to leave the club at the end of the current season.
According to renowned insider Bruno Andrade from ESPN Brasil, the 71-year-old coach has ambitions to take over the Portugal national team after the 2026 World Cup. This decision coincides with anticipated shifts within the coaching staff of what is referred to as the “European Brazilians,” with current coach Roberto Martinez expected to resign following the tournament.
Jesus believes his mission in the Middle East is complete and is ready to contribute his extensive experience towards leading Portugal’s national squad to success.
This announcement presents a period of uncertainty for Al-Nassr and its star player Cristiano Ronaldo. The club, which is investing heavily in an ambitious project, now faces the challenge of searching for a suitable replacement for Jesus.
