The Reason Behind Canceling Jesus’ Press Conference After Al Nassr’s Win Over Al Riyadh
Al Nassr’s management decided to cancel the post-match press conference of the team’s head coach, Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus, following the 1–0 victory over Al Riyadh on Monday evening, as part of Matchday 20 of the Saudi Pro League (Roshn Saudi League).
The decision was taken to maintain control over Al Nassr’s media narrative and to preserve the focus of the technical staff and players after a highly competitive encounter that featured intense tactical battles.
Administrative Decision Enforces Media Silence
According to Alyaum newspaper, Al Nassr’s management issued clear instructions prohibiting any post-match media statements from both the technical staff and players. The team fully complied with the directive, as no Al Nassr player spoke to the press—an exceptional step aimed at safeguarding the squad’s stability following a crucial round of the competition.

Al Nassr secured the win through a solitary goal scored by Senegalese star Sadio Mané, who capitalized on a precise assist from teammate João Félix, earning the team three valuable points in their league campaign.
