Ex-Flamengo boss Jorge Jesus in hot water over ‘unacceptable’ act | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus angered his former club, Al Hilal (KSA)

'Mister' Jorge Jesus is experiencing one of the worst moments during his stay in Saudi Arabia. In addition to Al Nassr (KSA) having plummeted down the table, the former Flamengo coach risks being sued by his former club, Al Hilal (KSA), which is seeking harsh punishment for the Portuguese manager.

In summary, the cause of the outrage was a statement made by Jorge Jesus complaining about alleged favoritism toward the leader of the Saudi League. The Portuguese coach said, “Al Nassr does not have the political power that Al Hilal has.” At Hilal, this comment was considered “unacceptable” and the club is demanding legal action from the relevant authorities. Moreover, the league leader is threatening to sue JJ.

WHY IS JORGE JESUS SO UPSET?

On Monday (12th), the top two teams faced each other, and Al Hilal won 3-1, with two goals from penalties and Al Nassr’s goalkeeper being sent off. The refereeing performance infuriated Jorge Jesus, Cristiano Ronaldo, and company. The result allowed Hilal to pull away at the top of the table.

With just one win in the last five matches, Al Nassr lost its lead at the top of the table and saw its rival open up a seven-point advantage after 15 rounds. Therefore, Jorge Jesus hopes not to be punished so he can continue chasing Al Hilal at the top of the table.

WHEN DOES JORGE JESUS’ TEAM PLAY AGAIN, AFTER ALL?

Seeking peace, Jorge Jesus’ Al Nassr returns to the field this Wednesday (21st), against Damac (KSA), away from home. The match kicks off at 2:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast in Brazil. That’s because GOAT, on YouTube, and BandSports, via pay TV, will air the match.
