Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus has agreed to coach Al-Nassr, following direct intervention from Cristiano Ronaldo, who played a significant role in persuading his compatriot to accept the offer.

Al-Nassr's management began negotiations with Jesus immediately after the dismissal of Italian coach Stefano Pioli, who failed to secure titles last season amidst fluctuating results and the team's exit without any trophies.

According to media reports, Al-Nassr offered Jesus an annual salary of 7 million euros, reflecting the club's serious desire to build a strong project led by a coach with extensive experience in Saudi leagues.

Romano clarified via his account on the platform 'X' that the official signing with Jesus will take place this week, noting that administrative changes at Al-Nassr will be announced soon as part of a comprehensive plan to restructure the team.

Al-Hilal ended its contract with Jesus at the end of last season after being eliminated from the AFC Champions League by Al-Ahly, where Mohammad Al-Shalhoub temporarily took over before contracting with Italian Simone Inzaghi.

Jesus led Al-Hilal in 99 matches, winning 80 of them, drawing 10 times, and losing only 9 matches, securing 4 important domestic titles, including the league, the King’s Cup, and two Saudi Super Cups.

Cristiano Ronaldo's renewal of his contract with Al-Nassr until 2027 provided the management with a strong boost to launch its new project, and had a decisive impact on the contract negotiations with Jesus.

The departure of Pioli and the beginning of Jesus' era represent a turning point for Al-Nassr, which seeks to regain titles and compete strongly both locally and in Asia in the upcoming season, under high-level coaching leadership.
