AL-NASSR PART WAYS WITH MANAGER RUDI GARCIA AFTER RIFT WITH RONALDO
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.
It was said that Garcia had a ‘blazing dressing room with his players’ following a goalless draw with Al-Feiha on Sunday, and that £175m-a-year star Ronaldo was ‘not satisfied’ with the coach’s tactics.
A statement on social media read: ‘Al-Nassr can announce that Head Coach Rudi Garcia has left the Club by mutual agreement.
‘The board and everyone at Al-Nassr would like to thank Rudi and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 8 months.’
