Jorge Jesus, the new head coach of Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr Football Club, revealed that Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo invited him to join the team.
Jesus was previously with Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League rivals Al Hilal SFC for two seasons. He enjoyed success at Al Hilal, guiding the team to a domestic treble in the 2023-24 season.
“Without his invitation, I certainly wouldn’t be there. I’m going to try to ensure that Al Nassr, which is one of the best clubs in Saudi Arabia, can win titles. Ronaldo is a player who has always won everything he’s played for. He hasn’t won in Saudi Arabia yet. I’ll see if I can help him,” Jesus said on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr in 2022 following his exit from Manchester United, has been prolific in front of goal, scoring 93 times in 105 appearances across competitions.
