Coach Jorge Jesus is not expected to continue at Al Nassr (SAU), Cristiano Ronaldo's team, in the next Saudi football season. The team is struggling to meet the financial demands of the Portuguese coach, and a departure is anticipated.
According to the Saudi newspaper ‘Al Riyadhah’, Jorge Jesus is still waiting for the arrival of two signings he requested since January. However, negotiations remain stalled at the moment, despite the final stretch of the Saudi Championship.
At the moment, Al Nassr is undergoing cost-cutting measures. As a result, the decision has even angered Cristiano Ronaldo, who reportedly refused to play as a form of protest against the low investment in the team.
Jorge Jesus has positive numbers at Al Nassr. The former coach of Flamengo joined the team at the end of last year. During this period, he has accumulated 22 victories in 28 matches played. Additionally, he was leading the Saudi Championship but lost momentum and was overtaken by rival Al Hilal (SAU).
The Flamengo, former team of Jorge Jesus, remains focused on the upcoming commitments of the season. This is because Mengão faces Internacional this Wednesday (04), at 7 PM (Brasília time), for the second round of the Brasileirão.
