After the championship and the cup — an unexpected decision

The experienced Portuguese specialist Jorge Jesus has officially left his position as head coach of the famous Saudi Arabian club "Al-Hilal." This was announced by the club's press service through an official statement.

Jesus had been managing the Riyadh club since 2023. Under his leadership, the team celebrated back-to-back championships by winning the Saudi championship and the King’s Cup last season.

Break After Defeat

According to information circulated in Saudi media, the main reason for Jesus's departure was the team's recent defeat in the Elite Champions League.

In the semifinals of this competition, "Al-Hilal" faced "Al-Ahli" and lost 1:3. This result reportedly led to serious analyses within the club and a change of coach.

What is the current state of the team?

In the current season, "Al-Hilal" is still competing for top positions in the Saudi championship. As of the results of the 29th round, the team is in second place in the league table and has currently accumulated 62 points.

With Jorge Jesus's departure, a new era may begin for "Al-Hilal." There are serious challenges ahead for the team until the end of the championship. How will the club achieve its goals by selecting the next coach?
