Saudi professional footballer Al-Nasr, who sacked the head coach with the help of Cristiano Ronaldo (38), is hoping for European masters as candidates for the new head coach. It is known that Ronaldo hopes for Zinedine Zidane (France), former Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho (Portugal), and AS Roma (Italy) coach as new coaches.
CBS Sports reported on the 15th (Korean time), citing sources,메이저사이트 that Al-Nassr is aiming for either Zidane or Mourinho to replace manager Rudy Garcia, who recently left the team.
Al-Nassr suddenly announced the breakup with coach Garcia the day before (14th).
Coach Garcia, who took the helm of Al-Nasr last summer, led the team to 2nd place (18 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses) this season and has been producing decent results.
According to local media, Ronaldo was behind Garcia’s resignation. Ronaldo, wearing the Al Nasr uniform through the transfer market in January, was not on good terms with coach Garcia, and Ronaldo, who was dissatisfied with tactics, asked the leadership to change the manager.
After all, Al-Nasr is looking for a new head coach after suddenly taking out the manager’s resignation card at the end of the season.
CBS Sports said, “Al Nasr, who brought Ronaldo and drew attention, is now aiming for Zidane and Mourinho, who are considered the world’s best leaders.”
Both are managers who had a relationship with Ronaldo. Ronaldo worked closely with Zidane during his Real Madrid days, and Mourinho also had the experience of winning several championships while directing him.
CBS Sports said, “Both coaches know Ronaldo very well.
However, it is unknown whether Mourinho and Zidane will be able to accept Al Nasr. After Zidane stepped down from the Real Madrid coaching staff in 2021, there have been rumors of a new appointment to the French national team. Love calls from big clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) continue to come out.
Coach Mourinho has also left Tottenham Hotspur (England) and has been directing AS Roma since the summer of 2021. Recently, there was also a report that the Saudi Arabian Football Association sent him an offer of 120 million euros (approximately 173 billion won) for two years as the head coach of the Saudi national team.
