The departure of the French coach is due to the bad relationship between the commander and his players. Furthermore, Garcia, despite having 18 wins in 26 matches ahead of Al-Nassr, failed to make his team win at key moments of the season.

A good example of this is the Elimination against Al-Ittihad in the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cupafter a 3-1 defeat. By the way, the team of the Brazilian Romarinho, formerCorinthians, has been a thorn in the side of CR7 and company, as they duel round by round with Al-Nassr for first place in the Saudi Championship. Currently, Al-Ittihad is in first place in the national competition, with three points ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.

In this way, the board of Al Nassr decided to break with Rudi Garcia and go after another coach to give consistency to the squad that, in addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, has the Brazilians Anderson Talisca and Luiz Gustavo.

According to the Spanish newspaper Asthe idea of ​​​​the Saudi club is to bring coach José Mourinho, currently at Roma, but who also attracts interest from the Chelsea. According to the newspaper, the proposal made to the Portuguese borders on the astronomical BRL 541.7 million for two seasons.

While it does not define its next commander, Al-Nassr will be trained by the under-19 coach, Croatian Dinko Jelicic.

We can announce that our U19 coach, Mr. Dinko Jelicic will be the new head coach for the first team.

Good luck, Mr. Dinko 💛 pic.twitter.com/ty52cRSwDT
