May 1 According to Portuguese media R7, after Riyadh Crescent was eliminated in the semi-finals of the AFC Elite League, the club's Brazilian player has been notified that he will hold a meeting to decide to fire coach Joe Jesus.

Jesus is about to be fired even changed the team's training plan. After they lost to Jeddah Nationals 1-3 in the semi-finals of the AFC Elite League, the team originally had two days off, but now it has been extended to three days.

club executives hope to use this extra day so that a new coach has been in place when the team regroups, and Jesus has been under pressure for poor performance in the Saudi league.

Despite winning the championship last season, Riyadh's new moon performance declined this season and is likely to miss the league championship. Currently, Jeddah United leads by 6 points with five rounds left in the league. At least, this possible sack may help Jesus realize his dream of coaching the Brazilian national team. Brazilian Football Association Chairman Ednaldo Rodriguez's first choice coach is Ancelotti, but he can only leave Real Madrid if he gives up the huge liquidated damages, and the Italians are not willing to do so.
