The Neymar and Jorge Jesus saga has another twist! The duo has been in the limelight since the rumor of the Brazilian soccer icon‘s bust-up with his manager. However, Neymar denied any altercations with his manager. Just yesterday, he expressed anger at these speculations, claiming the allegations were fake. Despite the rumors, the club will need to reportedly look for a new manager to replace Jorge Jesus.
After their altercation, the Portuguese coach decided to drop Neymar from the team against Al-Jabalain. His manager claimed that the two have an excellent relationship despite the speculations. He dropped the Brazilian from the squad because he felt Neymar was not “physically prepared “. The soccer veteran, however, refused the stories of him urging the Al-Hilal hierarchy to sack Jorge. But people at the club seemingly now believe this problem will continue growing with time and a ‘decision’.

The days coming up ahead surely won’t be the easiest for Jorge Jesus. In all likelihood, he will have the monstrous task of saving his job. The club has likely started to look for replacements, with Rui Vitoria being the favorite candidate. A few voices in the fanbase also seemingly support the change. After his alleged bust-up with Neymar, it will be difficult for the Al Hilal manager to sustain his position.
قبل ما يفوت الفوت :
استمرار جيسوس يعني تأخير حل مشكلة تكبر مع الوقت، وكلما كبرت احرقت معها لاعبين بلا عودة، وهذا يعني ان فاتورة تحسين الفريق بعد رحيله اكبر من تكلفه عقده وطاقمه .. مرور الوقت سيكلف الهلال خسارة لاعبين ربما قيمتهم اضعاف رواتب جيسوس طوال مسيرته
نحتاج "قرار"

This piece of information is from a Sports Analyst namely Khaled. The SPL supported had quite alot to say about the currently Al Hilal situation. On X, he wrote, “Before it’s too late: The continuation of Jesus means delaying the solution to a problem that grows with time, and as it grows, it burns players without return. This means that the bill for improving the team after his departure exceeds the cost of his contract and staff. The passage of time will cost Al-Hilal the loss of players whose value may be double Jesus’ salaries throughout his career. We need a ‘decision'”, as translated by Google Translate.
Most importantly, does Khaled’s tweet directly represent the emotions of the majority fanbase? Because, if that’s the case, then the Al Hilal supporters could be surprised by a managerial change sooner than expected. While the fans contemplate a managerial change, the Brazilian soccer icon has reportedly already made plans for his career after he’s done at Al Hilal. And the news might stun you. Let’s dive deeper.
