Cristiano Ronaldo demands this coach from Al-Nassr

In difficulty since the start of the season, Al-Nassr recently suffered a heavy defeat in the final of the Saudi Super Cup against Al-Hilal (4-1).

This defeat visibly annoyed Cristiano Ronaldo, who expressed his wish to see Zinedine Zidane join the team as soon as possible.

Since joining Al-Nassr in the winter transfer window of the 2022-2023 season, Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to win a title. This situation is in stark contrast to the player's impressive track record, which has consistently won trophies throughout his career. Although the team has competitive players, the 39-year-old Portuguese seems stuck in a series of disappointments, with Al-Hilal in particular always seeming to thwart his plans.

In the Super Cup final, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring, but Al-Hilal took control of the match and won the title. Frustrated, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner showed his displeasure with his teammates with unfriendly gestures. In addition to this lack of success in Saudi Arabia, Al-Nassr have also had a disappointing start to the season in the Saudi Pro League, with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Al-Raed last week.

Faced with this situation, the pressure is increasing on Luis Castro, the team's coach. Cristiano Ronaldo seems determined not to compromise his chances of success and is seriously considering the return of one of his former coaches. According to Marca, Cristiano Ronaldo has clearly expressed his desire to see Zinedine Zidane take the reins of the team. Although Zidane has already been approached by Saudi clubs in the past without ever accepting, CR7's voice could weigh in the balance. Ronaldo could also count on Fernando Hierro, the new sporting director of Al-Nassr, to support this approach. The final decision now rests with the Al-Nassr management and whether Zidane will be interested in this project.
