The prevailing opinion within the Al Hilal club management is to dismiss coach Jorge Jesus from training the Blue Wave due to the decline in results.
Al Hilal suffered an unexpected Asian defeat from Pakhtakor by a clean goal in the first leg of the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League for the elite, which came after a significant decline in the team’s level locally.
According to Saudi reports, the Al Hilal management received the green light from the honorary members to dismiss Jesus and contract with another world-class coach in the coming period.
The management is angry about how Jesus neglected to develop the defense line significantly, in addition to the collapse of his relationship with a number of players, most notably Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The current difference remains regarding the date of the return of dispensing with Jesus, as the management is divided between those who want to break the association immediately, and those who see that the season is in its middle and Al Hilal’s chances of achieving more than one title are still there.
As for the coach, it seems that he is “tired” in one way or another of the Al Hilal experience and is looking for a new experience, and he has some exciting offers in Europe, in addition to the most important offer to coach the Brazilian national team.
Al Hilal is ranked second in the Saudi League standings, 6 points behind Al Ittihad, 9 rounds before the end, and its chances of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League are still great, but it bid farewell to the King’s Cup in the quarter-finals at the hands of Al Ittihad.
It is worth noting that Jesus took over the coaching of Al Hilal last season, where he led the leader to achieve the local double without defeat, and reached the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League before being eliminated by Al Ain of the Emirates.
