Jorge Jesus returns to the RSL with Al Nassr | OneFootball

Al Nassr have confirmed former Al Hilal head coach Jorge Jesus as their new manager.

The Roshn Saudi League side announced Jesus’ appointment on Monday, with the Portuguese tactician signing a one-year contract.

Jesus, of course, has a long affiliation with Al Nassr’s Riyadh rivals, managing the club across two stints. In the second, he guided Al Hilal to the 2023-24 RSL title in record-breaking fashion, later being named the 2023-24 RSL Manager of the Season.

Al Hilal were second in the table last term when Jesus departed in May.

Jesus, 70, will be looking to achieve similar success at Al Nassr, who are chasing a first RSL crown in seven years. Last season, they finished third after Stefano Pioli replaced Luis Castro in September. The Italian left the club earlier this month.
