With five games remaining in the Pro League, Al-Hilal is 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
