Jorge Jesus on Al Nassr appointment: ‘Without Cristano Ronaldo's invitation, I wouldn't be there'
Jorge Jesus has said he would not have been appointed as new Al Nassr head coach without Cristiano Ronaldo's invitation. Portuguese coach Jesus, 70, has replaced Stefano Pioli as Al Nassr coach following last season's third-place Saudi Pro League (SPL) finish. Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January 2023 and has scored 99 goals in 111 first-team appearances, but has not yet won the SPL title nor tasted success in the Asian Champions League. Advertisement Jesus, who departed the club's Riyadh rivals Al Hilal in May, has now said that Ronaldo was influential in his arrival at the club. 'Without his invitation, I wouldn't be there,' Jesus said, in quotes carried by A Bola. 'Ronaldo is a player who has always won everything wherever he's played, but not yet in Saudi Arabia. I'll see if I can help him this year. 'We speak the same language, everything will be easy. I couldn't refuse the challenge Cristiano gave me.' It's official: ✍️Mr. Jorge Jesus is the new Head Coach of @AlNassrFC 💛 Welcome, Mister! 🧠 — AlNassr FC (@AlNassrFC_EN) July 14, 2025 Jesus, who dramatically left Benfica in 2015 to join their Lisbon rivals Sporting CP, has had two stints at Al Hilal but is now joining their city rivals. 'I love being in Saudi Arabia; it's the country of the future, in football and beyond,' he added. 'I am delighted to be returning. I've always been very happy. I've always won, and now I'm going to try to do it again.' The Athletic reported in March that Jesus was a leading contender to become Brazil head coach alongside Carlo Ancelotti, who assumed the role after leaving Real Madrid in May. ()

Controversial Automated Ball-Strike system is a 'good addition,' but needs development, MLB All-Star says
ATLANTA – Minor league baseball players have had the opportunity to get familiar with the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system. Major league players were introduced to it in spring training, but once the regular season began, home plate ruled on whether a pitch fell within the strike zone. The challenge system, which has sparked some controversy in the baseball world, will make its primetime debut at Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game. The reaction in the days since the MLB confirmed the system would be utilized has been mixed. Those who hold baseball's traditions dear have expressed frustration or even outrage. Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan, however, took a more measured approach. "I think it's a cool addition," Kwan told Fox News Digital on Monday in Atlanta, the host city for this year's Midsummer Classic. "I think (we) need some more experience with it. We only got to do it in spring training. It's definitely some spring training when you're in the (batters) box with it, but I think overall it's a good addition." During the All-Star game, the National League team and the American League club will each be allowed two challenges. If a challenge is used and upheld, the team will be able to retain it. A batter, pitcher or catcher can challenge a ball-strikes call. However, if a player does want to issue a challenge, time is of the essence. Any challenge has to be presented immediately after a strike or a ball is called. Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes was among the high-profile players who chimed in on the ABS system. "Pitchers think everything is a strike," the Pirates ace told reporters in Atlanta on Monday. "Then you go back and look at it, and it's two, three balls off. So we should not be the ones that are challenging it. I really do like the human element of the game. I think this is one of those things that you kind of think umpires are great until they're not." Skenes appeared to take a nonchalant position on the matter, saying he "could kind of care less, either way, to be honest." The ABS system is not expected to be involved in regular season games once the All-Star break ends. The MLB has not revealed any potential timetable for using the system in regular or postseason games, but testing it in the All-Star game appears to be a step toward it eventually becoming a part of the game.
