Former Brazil Coach Approaches Al-Hilal After Fan Anger at Jesus

The name Tite, the former head coach of the Brazilian national team, has emerged in the Al-Hilal scene after intense fan pressure against the Portuguese Jorge Jesus, despite a strong performance in the Roshan League.

Al-Hilal's management has entered into negotiations with Tite to succeed Jesus, with the plan for him to take over after the Club World Cup, signaling an anticipated technical 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 strongly tipped 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 closest 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 worked in Saudi stadiums before.
