Ronaldo Excited As Al-Nassr Appoint Jorge Jesus As New Manager

Al-Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has expressed his delight at the chance to play under Jorge Jesus.

Jesus is now the second Portuguese manager Ronaldo will work with at the Saudi Pro League side.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner played under Luis Castro for over 12 months in 2023-24.

Italian tactician Stefano Pioli was in charge last season, but has now returned to Serie A to coach Fiorentina.

In the past, Jesus coached Al-Nassr’s rivals Al-Hilal, where he won a league title, King’s Cup and two Saudi Super Cups.

The 70-year-old has signed a one-year deal after Ronaldo gave approval for his appointment.

Ronaldo simply posted a “welcome” message on his social media in reaction to the news of Jesus’ arrival.
