Jorge Jesus set for Al Nassr return, ex-Benfica star: “I’m very…” | OneFootball

In his first months as coach of Al Nassr, Jorge Jesus is already preparing for the return to competition after the international break, and the former Benfica coach shared his thoughts with journalists. In his statements, the Portuguese coach revealed he is happy with the squad he has.

At a press conference to preview the second round of the Saudi league, the ex-Benfica man shared a message of confidence with his players: “I am very happy with the group of players I have. All the players are ready for the match against Al Kholood.”

Still building routines with his new team, which includes former Benfica star João Félix, the Portuguese coach stated what the main objective is at the moment: “Our focus is solely on implementing our ideas with all the players, and our team always scores a lot of goals.”

Highlighting the work his team has done in recent weeks, the former red and white leader set the goal for Al Nassr’s next match: “The whole group has to work together and we are preparing for the match to show our best and secure the 3 points.”

Asked about the transfer market - which saw Otávio leave the club - Jesus spoke about the departure of the former Porto player: “Otávio is an excellent player, but we were looking for the best, so we signed Coman.” He also praised the work of the management during this transfer window: “They did an excellent job and signed wonderful players for half the price of Jhon Durán.”
