Jorge Jesus flying high! Former Benfica boss shines in Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

returned to being the standout figure in Saudi Arabia after securing yet another accolade. According to reports, the former Benfica coach was announced as the coach of the month for February in the Saudi league, due to Al Nassr's good results.

With the help of fellow countrymen Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix — whose goal drought is not a concern —, Al Nassr scored a total of 18 goals and conceded only one, against Al Fayha.

After repeating the achievement he had accomplished in September, Jorge Jesus was not the only one to receive recognition at Al Nassr. Besides the former Benfica coach, Bento, the Brazilian goalkeeper, was highlighted as the best goalkeeper, following his performances. The award for the best player of February was given to Yannick Carrasco, from Al Shabab.

On the other hand, Jorge Jesus, alongside the escalating tension in the Middle East due to the attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran, already knows that the match against Al Wasl, led by Rui Vitória, scheduled for this Wednesday in Champions 2, has been postponed.

Thus, the former Benfica coach, counting on João Félix, is already preparing for the duel on March 7, this Saturday, against Neom, for another round of the Saudi league. Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, underwent tests last Monday, March 2, due to physical complaints and only did gym work.
