Speculations surround Al Hilal boss Jorge Jesus. It was reported that the Al Hilal manager did not gel well with superstar Neymar Jr. and could be shown his way out of the club. The Portuguese manager is one of the top head coaches in the league. However, his alleged rift with Neymar could have seen Al Hilal part ways with the manager. Now, it has been reported that Jesus was not the first choice manager for the Saudi side in the first place.

Al Hilal was in contact with a legendary Brazilian head coach. While both parties were said to be interested, a deal could not be reached as the Riyadh outfit settled on Jorge Jesus. While the Portuguese manager has done a great job in charge of the club, his potential rift with Neymar might see him spend his last few weeks at the club.

Al Hilal were interested in signing Tite over Jorge Jesus

Saudi outlet Sport TV has reported that Al Hilal was interested in the services of Brazilian manager Tite and had contacted him before penning a deal with Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus. However, the two parties could not reach a deal and Jesus was appointed as Al Hilal’s manager. Tite stepped down as the Brazilian head coach following the World Cup after the team was knocked out in the quarterfinals by Croatia.

“The Brazilian ‘Tite’ was going to be coach of Al Hilal and his technical staff even traveled to Saudi Arabia in order to choose a location for their residence, but Mr. ‘Jesus’ was preferred over him.”
