May 2 According to aawsat website, Riyadh Crescent has decided to terminate their contract with Portuguese coach Jesus and appoint Jesus' assistant coach Mohamed Sharub to temporarily take over the team. Jesus led New Moon to the treble championship in Saudi Arabia's domestic competitions in 2023-2024, but after entering 2025, the team performed poorly in all competitions. After losing to Jeddah Nationals in the semi-finals of the AFC Elite League on April 30, senior executives of the New Moon Club made the decision to change coaches.

It is reported that Riyadh Crescent is negotiating with four candidates, hoping that one of them can become the club's new head coach, namely: Ancelotti, Allegri, Nuno Santo, who currently coaches Nottingham Forest of the Premier League, and Marco Silva, who currently coaches Fulham.
