Coach Jorge Jesus was appointed by Al Nassr thanks to Ronaldo's influence. |
The 70-year-old Portuguese coach was backed by Ronaldo after Al Nassr sacked Stefano Pioli. Jorge Jesus and Sergio Conceicao were the top names on the list of replacements, but Jesus' extensive experience and deep understanding of the Saudi Arabian Premier League helped him get picked.
This is the first time Jesus has directly coached Ronaldo, despite having previously coached big teams such as Benfica, Sporting, Fenerbahce and Flamengo. Last season, this strategist also helped rival Al Hilal win the treble of domestic championship, National Cup and Saudi Arabian Super Cup.
Sharing right at Lisbon airport before flying to the Middle East, Jesus excitedly said: "I couldn't refuse Cristiano's invitation. Without him, I wouldn't be here. Cristiano has won all the titles at every club he has played for, except Saudi Arabia. I will try to help him win the championship this year."
Jesus also revealed: "I love Saudi Arabia, this is the country of the future in both football and all other fields. This time I am back to lead Al Nassr, Al Hilal's opponent. For me, that is normal. As a coach, changing the shirt color of a rival club is fine."
"With a one-year contract, Jesus is the one chosen to please CR7," AS wrote. Al Nassr considers this a decisive step to convince Ronaldo to extend until 2027, and above all, to reopen the journey to conquer the pinnacle that the Portuguese legend craves.
