Al-Nassr manager, Rudi Garcia has left the club ‘by mutual agreement’ following reports suggesting that he had a deteriorating relationship with his players, including Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Saudi Pro League club confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday and the Frenchman has left the club with immediate effect while their Under 19 coach Dinko Jelicic will take over as their new head coach. .
According to recent reports from the Arabian side, Garcia was on the verge of being sacked, following an eight-month stint at the club before the mutual separation was announced.
