Al Nassr Ready To Sign Cristiano Ronaldo’s Former Manager As New Coach

• Cristiano Ronaldo could re-unite with one of his former coaches at Al-Nassr
• Juventus manager Max Allegri is a prime target for the Saudi Arabian side
• Jose Mourinho and Zinedine Zidane are also reportedly on the radar of the Saudi side

Al-Nassr are reportedly preparing an offer for Massimiliano Allegri, who coached Cristiano Ronaldo during his stint at Juventus.

The Saudi Arabian side are currently in search of a new manager after letting go of Rudi Garcia last month after his relationship with the players soured.

The Riyadh-based side is expected to appoint a new manager in the summer.

As reported by Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, via Sportskeeda, Al-Nassr is preparing an offer for Allegri, who coached Ronaldo during his previous stint at Juventus.

When Ronaldo arrived at Juventus back in 2018 from Real Madrid, Allegri was the man in charge of the Old Lady.

The Portugal captain played 44 matches under Allegri, scoring 28 goals and registering 11 assists.

Allegri left Juventus back in 2019 but was re-appointed as manager in May 2021.

Ronaldo blamed for Garcia's sack

Meanwhile, Ronaldo has been criticised by supporters for apparently causing the dismissal of Garcia as Al-Nassr head coach.

The 59-year-old tactician was reportedly shown the door less than a year after taking up the role as coach of the Riyadh outfit.

Sports Brief also reported on Ronaldo being blamed by social media users for masterminding the exit of the Frenchman.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Garcia hitting out at Ronaldo and his teammates after Al-Nassr dropped valuable points in a damaging draw with Al-Feiha last Sunday.

The French tactician did not hold back when expressing his disappointment with his charges, as they lost further ground to league leaders, Al-Ittihad in the standings.

With seven games to spare, Al-Nassr needs their rivals to stumble in subsequent games to stand any chance of claiming a first league crown since the 2018/19 season.
