Cristiano Ronaldo has officially extended his contract with Al-Nassr, and the club’s new head coach Jorge Jesus is wasting no time building around him — or rather, preparing to ease his workload.
At 40, Ronaldo remains the face of the Saudi club and now also serves as a co-owner. His influence is growing both on and off the pitch, starting with the appointment of Jorge Jesus, former Al-Hilal boss. According to Asharq Al-Awsat, the Portuguese coach has already handed his wishlist to the board.
CR7 to Rest Ahead of World Cup 2026
His priorities? Keep Sadio Mané and sign three new players, including a striker capable of stepping in for Ronaldo in the AFC Champions League. The goal is clear: manage Ronaldo’s minutes and keep him sharp — especially with the 2026 World Cup in sight.
Expect CR7 to play a more limited role next season, all in the name of longevity and one final run on the international stage.
