Major changes are brewing in Saudi Arabia.
Details: Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus has decided not to extend his contract with Al-Nassr and will leave the club at the end of the current season. According to renowned insider Bruno Andrade on ESPN Brasil, the 71-year-old coach has already set his sights on his next challenge – he intends to take over the Portugal national team right after the 2026 World Cup.
This move by Jesus is directly linked to the upcoming shake-ups in the coaching staff of the "European Brazilians." Reports suggest that current Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez will step down after the World Cup, opening the dream vacancy for Jesus.
The experienced tactician believes his mission in the Middle East is complete, and he's ready to channel all his expertise toward leading his country's main team to glory.
For Al-Nassr and its superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, the coach's decision signals a period of major uncertainty. The club, which is investing heavily in its ambitious project, will now be forced to search for a new manager.
Reminder: Cristiano Ronaldo's wife, Georgina Rodriguez, once again delighted her fans with sizzling new photos.
