Cristiano Ronaldo opted not to attend the funeral of fellow national team player Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. His absence sparked headlines and speculation, and it has been reported that the Al-Nassr forward chose to grieve in private, reaching out personally to the bereaved family.
Al-Nassr have reached an agreement with veteran Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus as they are all set to appoint him as their next head coach. Jesus, who left Al-Hilal at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, will return to the Saudi Pro League this summer and unite with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo. The 70-year-old will replace Italian manager Stefano Pioli.
