After the former head coach of Riyadh (Einas) announced his resignation, the Saudi giant quickly found a new coach to take over and lead the team. According to the latest news from the transfer authoritative reporter Fabrizio Romano, 70-year-old Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus (Jorge Jesus) has agreed to coach Riyadh for victory. The team's star Cristiano Ronaldo also personally "approved" the joining of this compatriot and competed for the championship together next season.

It is reported that the reason why Ronaldo supports hiring Jesus to coach is because both of them are "Listen". The old coach's player and head coach have played for this Portuguese Super League team. Jesus' coaching performance is also very brilliant. The most amazing thing is that he helped Benfica win many championships including 3 Portuguese Super League and 5 Portuguese League Cups.

Jesus has been coaching in Saudi Arabia in recent years. He has coached Riyadh Crescent (Arhilar) twice and led the team to win the 2023/24 league and the King's Cup double championship, but Riyadh won (Arhilar) finished second in the league this season, and Jesus was also fired. I believe that Riyadh victory (Einas) and Ronaldo both value Jesus' history of winning the championship and winning the Saudi league, so he is interested in inviting him to coach.
