Saudi Pro League team Al Hilal parted ways with Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the club announced on Friday.
It comes a few days after Al Hilal were eliminated from the Asian Champions League Elite semi-finals after a 3-1 defeat to Al Ahli.
With five games remaining in the Pro League, Al Hilal are second in the table, six points behind leaders Al Ittihad. They are set to play in the newly-expanded Club World Cup in the United States in June-July.
"The Board of Directors of Al-Hilal Club Company has agreed with the Portuguese head coach of the first team Jorge Jesus to terminate the contractual relationship between them," Al Hilal said in a statement on X.
"Meanwhile the Board has decided to appoint the coach Mohammed Al-Shalhoub to lead the first team," the club added.
