Marca newspaper revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo has identified his preferred name to succeed Luis Castro in coaching Al-Nassr if the Portuguese is dismissed.
Al-Nassr’s start this season was disappointing after losing the Super Cup to Al-Hilal with a 4-1 defeat, then a 1-1 draw with Al-Raed at the beginning of its journey in the Saudi League.
Fans’ demands for Castro’s dismissal are increasing, and it is said that Ronaldo’s support for him is the reason for his continuation until now.
According to Marca, Castro’s dismissal has become possible if Al-Nassr’s negative results continue, and then even Ronaldo’s support will not be enough for him to continue.
Ronaldo dreams of Zinedine Zidane taking over coaching Al-Nassr to succeed Castro, and he has informed the Al-Nasr management of this matter.
Recruiting Zizou will be difficult, as the coach has no interest other than working in the French national team in the future, and it is difficult to convince him even with large financial offers.
Zidane only worked as a coach at Real Madrid for two terms, and during the first term Ronaldo shone with him and was the nucleus of achieving the historic Champions League treble.
It is noteworthy that the Saudi newspapers put the name of the Portuguese Sergio Conceicao as the closest option to replace Castro in Al-Nassr.
