Al Nassr-Rudi Garcia: divorce between the manager and Ronaldo’s club

When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al Nassr, expectations for the Riyadh club inevitably skyrocketed. The title was the minimum goal. Instead there was first the failure in the Arabian Super Cup, with the elimination in the semifinals with Al Ittihad. Then the crisis in the championship, with 7 points in the last 4 games that have removed Al Nassr from the top, now 3 points behind the leaders, Al Ittihad himself, here it was Rudi Garcia who paid.

The former Roma coach and the club separated by mutual consent, as stated in the club’s tweet: “Head coach Rudi Garcia has left the club by mutual agreement. The board thanks him for the work he has done in these eight months” . It has not yet been announced who will take his place. The next match will see Al Nassr engaged in the capital derby against reigning champions Al Hilal on Tuesday 18 April.

If what “Marca” reports, after Monday’s 0-0 draw with Al Fayha, there would have been a storm in the locker room. The British press, on the other hand, points the finger directly at Ronaldo, who by contract would also have full decision-making powers over the technical direction. However, it is easy to think that there is a hand of CR7 behind the change on the bench.
