Jorge Jesus flying high! Former Benfica boss shines in Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus once again became the main highlight in Saudi Arabia after securing yet another award. According to reports, the former Benfica coach was announced as the Saudi league’s coach of the month for February, thanks to Al Nassr’s good results.

With the help of his compatriots Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix — whose goal drought is not a concern —, Al Nassr scored a total of 18 goals and conceded only one, against Al Fayha.

After repeating the achievement he had already managed in September, Jorge Jesus was not the only one to receive a distinction at Al Nassr. In addition to the former Benfica coach, Bento, the Brazilian goalkeeper, was highlighted as the best goalkeeper after his performances. The award for best player of the month of February went to Yannick Carrasco, from Al Shabab.

On the other hand, Jorge Jesus, alongside the escalating tensions in the Middle East due to attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran, already knows that the match against Al Wasl, coached by Rui Vitória, scheduled for this Wednesday in the Champions 2, has been postponed.

Thus, the former Benfica coach, counting on João Félix, is already preparing for the duel on March 7, this Saturday, against Neom, for another round of the Saudi league. Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, underwent medical exams last Monday, March 2, due to physical complaints and only did gym work.
