Jorge Jesus flying high! Former Benfica boss rewarded at Al Nassr | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus was named the best coach of the month of April in the Saudi League, following a perfect run in charge of Al Nassr. The Portuguese manager won all four matches played during the period, strengthening his team’s dominance in the competition.

During this run, Al Nassr scored 10 goals and conceded only two, showing attacking and defensive consistency. The win against Al Ahli, who are in third place and Asian champions, was one of the highlights, with the team showing authority against one of the league’s strongest opponents.

In the league table, Al Nassr lead with 79 points, maintaining an advantage over Al Hilal. Despite having played one more match, the side managed by the 71-year-old coach is getting ever closer to the title, a scenario that strengthens their serious bid to win the championship.

In the squad, names like Cristiano Ronaldo and former Benfica player João Félix have been decisive in this campaign. The influence of the stars helps explain the team’s consistent performances throughout the season, and also fuels Al Nassr’s dream of winning the league again, something that has not happened since 2018/19, under Rui Vitória.

Next up for Al Nassr is an away trip to Al Quadisiya, at the Prince Saud Bin Jalawi Stadium. Jorge Jesus - who was recently recalled by a former Benfica star - could be crowned Saudi champion as early as this Sunday and end the title drought for Riyadh’s yellow side.
