Al -Hilal Saudi Club dismissed its Portuguese coach, George Jesus, due to poor results, the last of which was his exit from the AFC Champions League semi -final for football in front of his countryman.
“The board of directors of Al-Hilal Club has agreed with the director of the technical staff of the first team, George Jesus, to end the contractual relationship that binds them, appreciating the council the efforts made by all the technical staff since last season,” Al-Hilal said in a statement late on Friday-Saturday night through his account on the X platform.
The statement added: “The council decided to assign coach Mohamed Al -Shalhoub to lead the technical helm for the first football team in the league competitions.”
Al -Hilal’s chances seem difficult to defend its title in the Saudi League, as it is 6 points behind the leaders of Jeddah five stages before the end of the league competitions.
