The club from Riyadh has officially started negotiations with Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who is currently unemployed after leaving Al-Hilal this season. The superstar of Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo, who agreed to extend his contract with the club, is likely to play an active role in the selection of the next head coach.

Although the two Portuguese have never worked together, Jesus has highly regarded the 40-year-old striker, noting his work ethic and professionalism.
