6 February 2026
Historic milestone for Jorge Jesus in the Saudi Pro League
The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, in charge of Al Nassr, leaves a historic mark in the Saudi Pro League as his side faces Al Ittihad on Friday evening, in round 21.
Al Nassr sits third in the standings with 46 points, one point behind second-placed Al Ahli (47) and four behind leaders Al Hilal (50).
According to Opta, this match marks Jesus's 100th appearance in the Saudi Pro League since his league debut in 2018-2019 with Al Hilal in his first stint in the competition.
Jesus has faced Al Ittihad six times in the league, winning five and losing once, making him the second-most successful coach against the Majestic Al Ittihad in the competition, behind two coaches who have six wins each.
In 99 previous league matches, Jesus has won 77, drawn 13, and lost 9, scoring 269 goals while conceding 93.
Ahead of the Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad clash in the Saudi Pro League, the match is scheduled for 6 February 2026 at 18:30.
Punchline 1: If he keeps collecting milestones, his trophy cabinet will soon require a larger calendar.
Punchline 2: If this pace continues, the league might just rename the title race the Jesus derby.
