Without Ronaldo, I m sure not here: Riyadh wins and appoints head coach

Riyadh Victory officially announced this Monday night, appointing Jesus as head coach. In the past few weeks, people have been speculating that the 70-year-old will take over the position and become another head coach of the team for more than two years since Ronaldo joined the team.

Jesus himself was very happy with the appointment, claiming that he would move to a "happy forever". This is also the third time that the Portuguese old man has come to Saudi Arabia to serve as head coach after leaving Portugal Sports. He coached in Riyadh Crescent two times before.

Jesus replaced Pioli and became the fifth head coach of Ronaldo's victory in Riyadh since joining in 2022. The Italian had to leave the team after a disappointing season (Riyadh victory ranked third in the Saudi league and was eliminated by Kawasaki forward in the semifinals of the AFC Champions League).

Jesus was extremely excited after receiving this appointment: "I would definitely not be here without Ronaldo!"

"It's full of motivation. Riyadh wins need a championship, Cristiano Ronaldo also needs a championship, he always wins everything in the club he plays for. However, he has almost won anything here, so see if I can help him. We are all Portuguese, speak the same language, and communication will be very easy."

Last season, Jesus' rival Riyadh New Moon, who won in Riyadh, also experienced a failed season. After being fired, he once competed with Ancelotti for the head coach of the Brazilian national team in May. Of course, everyone already knows the final result, and the Italian won.

As a coach, Jesus is used to wandering, and the victory of Riyadh will be the 18th club in his 45-year coaching career. Although he has rich experience and is still very excited to be the head coach of Ronaldo, the old man also clearly realized that it is not easy to coach himself, a Portuguese compatriot, and the reputation of "coach killer" is not just a talk.
