Saudi Super Cup pits Al-Nassr against Al-Ittihad, whose striker Karim Benzema denies it’s all about his battle with ex-Real Madrid colleague
New Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus has said on the eve of the Saudi Super Cup in Hong Kong that the opportunity to manage Cristiano Ronaldo was a “big incentive” to accept a new challenge at 71.
Al-Nassr are the 16th club of Jesus’ cosmopolitan career, after he was tasked with masterminding overdue Saudi success for superstar Ronaldo.
The forward, who has plundered 93 goals in 105 Al-Nassr appearances, is in Hong Kong chasing only his second piece of silverware in 2½ years with the Riyadh side, after winning the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup following his transfer from Manchester United.
