Al-Nassr have parted company with boss Rudi Garcia after Cristiano Ronaldo let the club know of his dissatisfaction with the manager’s approach, it has been claimed.
Ronaldo completed a stunning move to the Saudi Arabian club in January and will earn in the region of £173million per year. That is – by a distance – the highest wage in football, which includes image rights and commercial commitments, with significant influence likely as a result.
The Portuguese superstar has netted 11 league goals in just 10 games for his new club but Al-Nassr have seen their lead at the top of the Saudi Arabian top division slip away in recent weeks. They currently languish three points off league leaders Al-Ittihad.
