Jorge Jesus ended the speculation about the possibility of him leading the Saudi national team in the 2026 World Cup by making a definitive decision on this anticipated move.

Media reports indicated that the President of the Saudi Federation, Yasser Al-Misehal, did not engage in any official negotiations with the Portuguese coach in the recent period.

Sources have indicated that Jesus does not currently prefer to take on the experience of coaching national teams, insisting on continuing his project with Al-Nassr Club.

The coach is focusing on competing strongly in the Roshan League, alongside the AFC Champions League 2, as he aims to achieve accomplishments with the team this season.

On the other hand, the Saudi Football Federation's management is considering the future of Hervé Renard following the national team's decline in results in recent friendly matches.

The "Green" team had suffered two consecutive losses against Egypt and Serbia, which intensified the criticism directed at the current coaching staff.

Al-Nassr is preparing for an important match against Al-Najma in the 27th round, as they top the standings with 67 points, three points ahead of Al-Hilal.
