Jorge Jesus is out as head coach of Saudi Arabian soccer side Al-Hilal

Al-Hilal Football Club announced the mutual termination of Jorge Jesus' contract as head coach on May 2, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The decision came shortly after Al-Hilal’s 3-1 loss to local rivals Al-Ahli in the penultimate round of the AFC Champions League Elite, which occurred four days prior.
Jesus, appointed in July 2023, guided Al-Hilal to a world-record 34 consecutive wins, two domestic titles, and amassed 100 wins over two spells.
Al-Hilal is currently six points behind top-ranked Al-Ittihad with only five games remaining in the season, while Mohammed Al-Shalhoub has been appointed interim coach until a foreign replacement is secured.
Jorge Jesus is widely rumored to be the top candidate to take over as Brazil’s head coach, with contract negotiations reportedly underway, potentially making him the country’s first foreign manager.
