According to Sportskeeda, the hierarchy of the club have run out of patience with the manager following the team's slump in form, which was worsened by their recent stalemate against Al-Feiha.

@bhoslec2 slammed Ronaldo for 'ruining Al-Nassr':

"Penaldo joined Al Nassr, and now they aren’t top of the table, and the blame is now on the coach Ronaldo ruined Al Nassr."

@Wilsonjay4582 added:

"Penaldo is a poison to teams and coaches. How can a player think he is bigger than his coach?"

@Pulga_Disciple wrote:

"This guy is legit a virus to any team that wants to progress, but people are not ready for the conversation."

@BarcaNana1 called Ronaldo out in his comment:

"Biggest crybaby in football. No wonder Perez got rid of him. Madrid has since flourished."

@unmessy_22 tweeted:

"That's why no coach wanted him in Europe."

Garcia sacked as Al-Nassr boss

As a result of his allegedly troubled relationship with Ronaldo, Garcia has reportedly been fired from his position as manager of Al-Nassr.

Less than a year after taking the helm at the Saudi Arabian club, reports from the country claimed the French tactician had been told to go.

According to the Spanish publication, Marca, a fight with his players in the dressing room led to the 59-year-old's dismissal from the job.

Al-Nassr's dwindling fortunes since Ronaldo

Sports Brief also reported on Ronaldo's impact at Al-Nassr since joining from Manchester United, compared to the team's recent form.

The 38-year-old joined the Saudi Arabian league giants at the tail end of 2022 amid the fallout of his interview with Piers Morgan.

When Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr, they were at the top of the Saudi Pro League table by a point but have since lost ground in the race.
