Al Hilal experienced a turbulent period after two consecutive draws in their campaign. Al Za’eem is reportedly contemplating to part ways with their Portuguese coach following a disappointing debut in the Champions League fixture. Amidst this escalating tension, Neymar has recommended a popular Brazilian soccer coach for the Blue Waves. The recommended Brazilian soccer coach has found commendable success in recent times.

After consecutive subpar performances by Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus’ contract termination is now being reportedly discussed, which could create a vacancy for a head coach. Will Neymar’s recommendation be taken into consideration?

Neymar suggested Tite as the potential new coach for Blue Waves, aiming to restore the team’s stability. The $12 million rich manager prioritized coaching a foreign club after terminating his contract with the Brazilian national squad. Previously, Tite was a candidate in the pipeline for Al Hilal after their former coach, Ramon Diaz, departed the club. However, Tite’s name is resurfacing again soon after Neymar endorsed him for the squad.

Tite likely aims to return to the club soccer after parting ways with Selecao. After numerous offers from European and Middle Eastern clubs, the 62-year-old coach had yet to decide on a project. Nevertheless, Al Hilal could be a preferable prospect for the Brazilian coach considering his prior relationship with Neymar back from the national team days.

Al Za’eem seemed to have settled on a decision for the managerial position. The SPL giants have discussed with their current head coach their concerns for the squad. They also warned him about a contract termination if the results didn’t improve. As a result, they are on the brink of making significant decisions before potentially relinquishing their dominant position for the remainder of the season.

Jorge Jesus returned to the club this season after a triumphant stint with Turkey’s Fenerbahce. However, Al Hilal intends to separate from their manager shortly after eight games this season. Al Hilal has reportedly decided to consider appointing Al Shalhoub as an interim coach in this early phase of the campaign. In recent times, Jorge Jesus was witnessed pointing fingers at the rivals and critiquing the referee’s decision after a lackluster start to the AFC Champions League campaign.

Additionally, Al Hilal also failed to secure three points in the league against Damac, settling for a 1-1 draw. The opposition appeared to pose an attacking threat in the final third, with 14 shots being attempted. After that result, the club’s board then seemingly believed that a new head coach was an ideal remedy for the club’s inconsistency under Jorge Jesus. Do you think Tite would be a perfect fit for Al Hilal? Comment below and let us know.
