New Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus praised Cristiano Ronaldo as the Worldâs Greatest Celebrity, citing him as the main reason for joining the club. He criticized Portugal for undervaluing the 40-year-old, who scored 25 goals last season. Jesus aims to revive Al-Nassrâs fortunes after their trophyless campaign and AFC Champions League semi-final exit.
When the seasoned coach Jorge Jesus took over at Al-Nassr, he made it clear that Cristiano Ronaldo was the primary reason behind his decision. The 70-year-old Portuguese manager, who replaced Stefano Pioli this summer, expressed deep admiration for the 40-year-old football icon, calling him âthe worldâs greatest celebrityâ and âa global human figure.â In an interview with RTPâs Primeira Pessoa, Jesus said Ronaldoâs legacy extends far beyond football, lamenting that Portugal often underappreciates his impact.
Jesus highlighted Ronaldoâs exceptional longevity, crediting his physical and mental discipline for still performing at the highest level. Last season, Ronaldo led the Saudi Pro League in scoring with 25 goals, even though Al-Nassr finished 13 points behind champions Al-Ittihad and exited the AFC Champions League in the semi-finals.
Jesus' arrival signals a fresh start for Al-Nassr, who are hoping that his connection with Ronaldo can turn around their fortunes. The club is expected to strengthen the squad further this summer, aiming to reclaim the league title and make a stronger push in Asian competitions. With Ronaldoâs leadership at the core, Al-Nassr is gearing up for a season where expectations are once again sky-high.
