Cristiano Ronaldo Reacts to Appointment of New Al-Nassr Head Coach

Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a two-year contract extension with Al-Nassr, committing to a third season in the Saudi Pro League despite previous rumors linking him with a move to a Club World Cup team. His goal is to win the league title with the club.

Al-Nassr has appointed Jorge Jesus as their new head coach for the 2025-26 season to help achieve that objective. Jesus, who previously managed rivals Al-Hilal, won the Saudi Pro League in 2023-24 and the 2024 Saudi Super Cup, notably defeating Al-Nassr 4-1 in the final. Ronaldo reacted briefly to the announcement on social media.

Ronaldo was reportedly a significant influence in Jesus's appointment, with Jesus stating he wouldn't be at the club without the player. The two Portuguese figures now aim to combine forces to win trophies for Al-Nassr, with the club expected to make significant new signings to strengthen the squad.
