After Stefano Pioli's dismissal, one of the primary candidates for Al Nassr became Jorge Jesus. The Saudi club has started negotiations with Jorge Jesus and his manager. Al Nassr also added Okan Buruk to the top of their list of coaching candidates, but they were unable to achieve any results.

The Saudi Arabian League team Al-Nassr has turned to a surprising name in its search for a new head coach following Stefano Pioli's departure.

IT WAS NOT OKAN BURUK

According to Footmercato, Al Nassr wanted to bring Okan Buruk, who is managing Galatasaray, to lead the team, but the experienced coach chose to stay with the Yellow-Red team. In this context, the Saudi team shifted its focus to former Fenerbahçe coach Jorge Jesus.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH JORGE JESUS HAVE STARTED

The report stated that officials from Al Nassr have begun official negotiations with Jorge Jesus and his manager. It was emphasized that the Portuguese coach is also open to working with the Saudi team.
