Al-Nasr Coach to Depart Club at Season's End

Portuguese coach Jesus has informed Al-Nasr's leadership that he will not extend his tenure with the Saudi Arabian club, choosing instead to depart when his current contract concludes next week.

The 71-year-old manager communicated his decision to Jose Semedo, the club's Executive Director, and Simao Coutinho, the Sports Director, according to Portuguese media reports.

Jesus's next career move remains uncertain, though multiple possibilities are being explored. Sources indicate he may return to Turkish football, with discussions reportedly planned between the coach and Fenerbahce, the Istanbul-based club he previously managed during the 2022-2023 season. During his tenure there, he led the team to Turkish Cup victory.

Additionally, ESPN Brazil reports that despite settling comfortably in Saudi Arabia, Jesus harbors ambitions to lead Portugal's national team following the 2026 World Cup, a position that would represent a significant milestone in his coaching career.

The departure marks the end of Jesus's chapter in the Saudi Pro League, as his contract with Al-Nasr officially concludes at the end of the current season.
