Recently, Jorge Jesus was appointed as the new head coach of Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. He replaced Stefano Pioli and Cristiano Ronaldo played a big role in bringing him on board. Now, in a recent interview, Jorge heaped praises on CR7, calling him 'the world's greatest human figure' and 'the world's greatest celebrity'. During his appearance on RTP's Primeira Pessoa, Jesus praised Ronaldo, saying, "He is different, even in biological age, which is why he's 40 and still playing.

We both think very much alike outside of football." "He is a global figure. We don't know how to value him in Portugal. He's the world's greatest human figure. He's the world's greatest celebrity.

He's far beyond the world of football," he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) The Portuguese star joined Al Nassr in January 2023.
