Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr manager ‘SACKED after explosive dressing room confrontation with players’.
According to sources, AL-NASSR manager Rudi Garcia was sacked because of an altercation with the players.
The Saudi Arabian team is in second position in the Saudi Pro League, three points behind Al-Ittihad.
According to Marca, the French manager got into a fight with several of the players in the locker room.
Yet with seven games left in the season, club executives apparently decided to fire him due to expectations not being reached on the field.
According to a separate report from AS, Cristiano Ronaldo and club executives also met in private.
According to reports, Ronaldo expressed his displeasure with Garcia’s strategy throughout these conversations.
And today, following a 0-0 tie with Al Feiha, club management has opted to agree with Ronaldo’s assessment, releasing Garcia from his contract.
Ronaldo appeared to be upset at the outcome.
After the game, the former Manchester United star was seen arguing with rival players.
The 38-year-old then fumed: “You don’t want to play.”
Ronaldo signed a record-breaking £173 million contract to play for the Middle Eastern team in December.
This came after he was released by Man Utd following an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
