Jumping ship? Jesus in talks with Al-Hilal's rivals
Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus is in negotiations to take over the reins of Al Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, a club seeking a new coach after confirming the departure of Stefano Pioli, this Wednesday (25).
The information comes from the website Footmercato, which points to the name of Jorge Jesus — former Al Hilal — as the main option for the Saudi board at this time.

According to the publication, the club has already started talks with the 69-year-old coach's agent to assess the possibility of a return to the country.
Jesus has been without a club since he left Al Hilal, precisely one of Al-Nassr's biggest rivals, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mané, as one of the great coaches of the Saudi club.
At the helm of Al-Hilal, the Portuguese coach achieved the longest winning streak in world football history, with 34 consecutive victories.
In addition to his success in Arab football, Jorge Jesus is highly esteemed in Brazil for his victorious stint with Flamengo, with whom he won the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2019.

His name was even considered to take over the Brazilian national team before the deal with Carlo Ancelotti.

Insider Reveals Commanders Plans For Upgrade In Key Area
Insider Reveals Commanders Plans For Upgrade In Key Area originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Commanders have very few concerns offensively heading into next season. Assuming they eventually come to terms with Terry McLaurin, they will have the league's best young quarterback surrounded by a dynamic receiving corps, a strong running game and talented offensive line. Advertisement Washington showed they could put up points in a flurry down the stretch against some quality competition as well. Further establishing themselves as a contender requires head coach Dan Quinn to execute system even better this season. Those who follow Quinn know he places an emphasis on rushing the passer. The problem for Washington? Their sacks leader from a year ago, Dante Fowler Jr., left in free agency to join the Cowboys. Fowler posted 10.5 sacks last year, at least five more than any primary pass rusher on the roster had last season. Frankie Luvu did have eight though the defense hopes to generate more production from their front four. Theoretically, that requires a trade. But even a team as aggressive as the Commanders in their talent acquisition is not ready to pull the trigger. Instead, The Athletic's Ben Standig has revealed they intend to see how their current newcomers and returners look at training camp. Advertisement "Does Washington add help on the edge by the start of training camp? My sense after these workouts is … no, and not solely because of those at defensive end. The organization wants a longer look at how new big men Javon Kinlaw, Deatrich Wise Jr. and Eddie Goldman mesh with holdovers Daron Payne, Dorance Armstrong and 2024 second-rounder Johnny Newton in training camp." Standig notes there are plenty of physical traits that would indicate improvement, but the lack of tangible results to refer back to presents a concern. "The group is more physically imposing, at a minimum. Still, it's fair to wonder if this group has enough to help the defensive ranking improve this season. For now, the vibe is wait and see." Perhaps the patience will pay off while the Commanders already have McLaurin's extension still to figure out ahead of training camp. Whomever rises from this group, Washington must ensure production from this area of the defense.
