Al-Nassr Part Ways With Luís Castro: Who Will Be Cristiano Ronaldo’s Next Manager?

Significant changes may be coming at the club of Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr, reports indicate that the Saudi team is close to appointing former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli.

This comes after the club officially sacked their current manager, Luis Castro, following a tough start to the season.

The news has Ronaldo fans buzzing, wondering if the Portuguese legend will soon be working under a new coach who could reignite Al-Nassr’s campaign.

Castro’s exit comes on the heels of disappointing performances, as Al-Nassr has been struggling to regain their form in all. Their recent 1-1 draw in the AFC Champions League against Al-Shorta has only intensified pressure.

Castro’s tenure at Al-Nassr

Luis Castro’s time at the helm was anything but smooth. Despite a decent average of 2.17 points per game, he failed to deliver any major trophies during his 54-match stint.

Al-Nassr finished as runners-up to their archivals, Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League last season and endured a disappointing 4-1 loss to the same team in the Saudi Super Cup final. It appears that Castro’s tactics failed to resonate with the star-studded squad, resulting in frustration for both fans and club officials.

Now, all eyes are on Pioli, who has a strong track record after leading AC Milan to their first Serie A title in over a decade in the 2021-22 season. His structured approach and tactical expertise could be exactly what Ronaldo and the team need to turn things around.

Will Pioli be the one to bring out the best in Al-Nassr and their superstar Ronaldo? With Pioli’s knack for creating cohesive teams, Ronaldo fans are hopeful for a new dawn at Al-Nassr.
