2018 ARAB NEWS June 30, 2018 14:35 206 Accompanied by his assistants, Jesus landed in Riyadh and was greeted by waiting Al-Hilal supporters Portuguese manager made his first signing last week in Dubai when Spanish central defender Alberto Botia joined RIYADH: New Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening to a warm welcome from the club’s fans. Accompanied by his assistants, Jesus landed in Riyadh and was greeted by waiting Al-Hilal supporters. Jesus is expected to visit the club headquarters on Saturday and will take up his first training session next Sunday for the club’s pre-season preparations. The Portuguese manager made his first signing last week in Dubai when Spanish central defender Alberto Botia joined Al-Hilal from the Greek side Olympiakos. In his six years at Benfica, Jesus won the league three times, added six domestic cups and led the club to back-to-back Europa League finals. The 63-year-old has never played or coached outside Portugal and speaks little English, but may be tempted by the financial terms on offer in the Kingdom.
