Al-Nassr is seeking a coach with a proven track record of winning trophies. The club is offering Jesus a contract running until 2027, while salary and other terms remain under negotiation between both parties. Jorge Jesus parted ways with Al-Hilal at the end of the season following a challenging spell, despite having secured the league title with them two seasons ago. He is ready for a new challenge in his managerial career and will look forward to making the most of the strong squad already at his disposal, led by one of the best players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently extended his contract for two more years.
The Portuguese manager was briefly linked with the Brazil national team role after leaving Al-Hilal, however Brazil eventually appointed Carlo Ancelotti once his exit from Real Madrid became official.
