Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal are set to extend Jorge Jesus' deal at the club, as reported by Rudy Galetti.

Talks between the two sides have been completed, and the Portuguese manager will extend his contract for two years, until 2026.

Jesus guided the Riyadh-bases side to their 19th SPL title this season with no defeats.

They were also the favorites to reach the AFC Champions League final before being knocked out by UAE's Al-Ain in the semi-finals.

Al-Hilal reappointed Jesus last year after a shortly lived first stint that ended with his sacking due to contractual disagreements in 2019.
