May 2 According to Portuguese media "The Globe", Joe Jesus will no longer serve as the head coach of Riyadh Crescent, and the coaching position will be temporarily held by the team's assistant coach.

According to Saudi sports media, he will be temporarily replaced by the team's assistant coach Mohamed Alsharhob, who will coach from the game against Brydet Pioneer on the 7th.

Two days before the end of Jesus' contract with Riyadh Crescent, the team lost 1-3 to Jeddah Nationals in the semifinals of the Asian Champions League, which also led to the club's decision to fire him. Jesus had previously emphasized that the Asian Champions League is the main goal of this season.

In the Saudi domestic league, Riyadh Crescent, as the defending champion, is already six points behind the leader Jeddah United with five rounds left in the league. This is Jesus' second time coaching the team. During this period, he led the team to win the Saudi League, two Saudi Super Cups and one Saudi Cup of Rey. His contract was originally an additional year before it expired.

In the 130 games coaching Riyadh Crescent, the team achieved 101 wins, 18 draws and 11 losses, scoring 354 goals and conceding 115 goals. With the breakdown of negotiations between the Brazilian Football Association and Ancelotti, Jesus has now become the strongest contender for the head coach of the Brazilian national team.
