The name Tite, the former head coach of the Brazil national team, has taken center stage in Al-Hilal following increased fan pressure against Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, despite a strong performance in the Roshan League.

Al-Hilal's management has entered negotiations with Tite to succeed Jesus, with the plan for him to take over after the Club World Cup, signaling an anticipated coaching change that could bring many surprises.

Al-Hilal fans continue to demand Jesus's departure despite the strong competition for the Saudi league title. The Portuguese coach is a strong candidate to coach Brazil after the dismissal of Dorival Junior from his position. The loss in the King's Cup and trailing the leader by 4 points have reignited doubts about Jesus.

Coach Tite has become the leading candidate to succeed Jesus according to global reports. The Brazilian coach is expected to start his role after the 2025 Club World Cup, according to Rodrigo Lanza.

Tite has coached the Seleção and Flamengo, and has previously worked in the Gulf leading Al Ain and Al Wahda. Despite his Gulf experience, Tite has not previously worked in Saudi stadiums.
