Al Nassr has made a bold move, firing head coach Luis Castro after a shaky start to the 2024-25 Saudi Pro League season. With just one win and two draws in their opening matches, the club announced the decision on X (formerly Twitter), thanking Castro for his “dedicated work” over 14 months. 🌟
Castro, who took charge in July 2023, led the team to 36 wins in 54 games but failed to secure trophies despite a star-studded lineup including Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and Aymeric Laporte. Last season, Al Nassr finished a distant second—14 points behind rivals Al Hilal. ⚡
The final straw? A 1-1 draw against Iraq’s Al Shorta in their AFC Champions League Elite opener this week. This marks the second coaching shakeup since Ronaldo joined in 2023. The Portuguese superstar has been a standout, scoring 62 goals in 69 appearances—yet even his magic couldn’t save Castro’s job. 🎩🔥
Fans are now buzzing: Who’s next to take the hot seat? With Ronaldo’s legacy on the line, Al Nassr’s hunt for a title-winning coach is ON. 💼
