Ronaldo’s Al Nassr team in search of new coach
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Arabian club, Al- Nassr, is looking for yet another new coach after firing Luis Castro in the second managerial change since the Portuguese star’s arrival.
Castro had overseen a slow start to the new Saudi Pro League season with just one win in three games despite having stars such as Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte
“Al-Nassr can announce that head coach, Luis Castro, has left the club,” the club said on social media. “Everyone at Al-Nassr would like to thank Luis and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 14 months, wishing them the best of luck for the future.”
The Riyadh club drew 1-1 against Al-Shorta of Iraq on Monday in the opening game of the AFC Champions League Elite.
In April 2023, Coach Rudi Garcia left Al-Nassr after failing to secure first place despite Ronaldo’s arrival four months earlier.
According to domestic media, Stefano Pioli, who managed AC Milan to the Serie A title in 2022 and is available after leaving the club in May, is on the list of Al-Nassr’s preferred replacements.-Insideworldfootball
