RIYADH — Al Nassr Football Club has announced the appointment of José Semedo as its new acting CEO, marking a strategic leadership shift ahead of the upcoming season. Semedo, a former European footballer and a familiar figure at the club, steps into the top executive role after two years of proven experience behind the scenes at Al Nassr. Known for his strong character and leadership both on and off the pitch, the Portuguese native brings a blend of athletic insight and executive acumen to the position. "We will do everything it takes to build something extraordinary," Semedo said in his first remarks following the appointment. Al Nassr praised Semedo's contributions during his time at the club, noting his deep understanding of the team's culture, competitive ambitions, and operational framework. The decision comes at a crucial moment for Al Nassr, as the club continues to build on its domestic and continental aspirations following a high-profile season and the recent appointment of Jorge Jesus as head coach.
