Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet won a title in Saudi Arabia. That should change with his new trainer.
Cristiano Ronaldo gets a new boss on the sidelines at the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr-one that he knows well. Jorge Jesus takes over the office at the runner -up from Riad. The 70-year-old Portuguese was officially presented on Monday.
The club announced the obligation via X with the words: “It is officially: Jorge Jesus is our new coach.” Jesus follows Stefano Pioli, who has only switched to AC Florence after a short term. Previously, Jesus had looked after the Saudi champions Al-Hilal until May, but had to vacate his post there.
According to information Portuguese media, Ronaldo is said to have personally campaigned for his compatriot. Jesus himself said before departure to Saudi Arabia: “I wouldn’t be here without Cristiano.” Both would speak the same language, which makes a lot easier. He could not reject the challenge that Ronaldo had given him.
With Al-Nassr, Jesus is now pursuing a clear goal: winning a title. Ronaldo got titles everywhere in his career-only in Saudi Arabia this success is still pending. “So I will see if I can help him,” said the new coach.
