After a confrontation in the locker room, Neymar reportedly asked that Jorge Jesus be fired as Al Hilal’s manager.
Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window after signing a contract with Al Hilal of the Saudi Professional League for an estimated €90 million. This ended his six-year stay at PSG.
The Brazilian has made three appearances in all competitions since joining Al Hilal and has contributed two assists.
After the 1-1 draw in the AFC Champions League match against Navbahor Namangan, Jesus reportedly made Neymar uncomfortable by criticizing the forward.Neymar wants the club to fire Jesus after he was severely punished for his subpar performance and negative attitude, according to the Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo.
Neymar said, “I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places,” after agreeing to a two-year contract with Al Hilal.
