Al-Nassr appointed Portuguese Jorge Jesus as coach on Monday, two months after he left its bitter Saudi Pro-League rival Al-Hilal.
The 70-year-old won the domestic treble in his second stint with Riyadh-based Al-Hilal in the 2023-2024 season, but left the club in May after it lost in the AFC Champions League elite semifinals to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli.

“It’s official, Mr. Jorge Jesus is the new coach of Al-Nassr”, the Saudi club posted on X.
The former Copa Libertadores winner with Brazil’s Flamengo, who replaces Italian Stefano Pioli, has signed a one-year contract with Al-Nassr.
Nine-time Saudi champion Al-Nassr has extended the contract of 40-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo until 2027.
