Rudi Garcia’s resignation from Al-Nassr seems imminent. According to Mark has the coach already received his congé, while ESPN reports that Garcia has one more chance to turn the tide. It is clear that things are not going as well as hoped at the club where Cristiano Ronaldo is under contract, after a very expensive loss of points was suffered in the title fight last Sunday. Al-Nassr has not yet responded to the reports.
According to Mark the sporting achievements and the disturbed relationship between Garcia and his players are the basis for the (imminent) dismissal of the Frenchman. Contrary to the Spanish sports newspaper reports ESPN that Garcia gets one more game. To keep his job, Garcia should lead Al-Nassr to a victory against the number four of the Saudi Premier League, Al-Hilal, on Tuesday. Last Sunday, Al-Nassr suffered a costly loss of points in the battle for the championship. Due to the 0-0 draw at number eleven Al-Feiha, Al-Nassr is now three points behind leader Al-Ittihad, with seven games to play.
After the draw, Garcia was not pleased with the performance of his team. “The result is bad and we are not happy,” he said Saudi Sports Company. Garcia also commented on the performance of his own players. “I’m not happy with what the players showed. I asked them to give a similar performance to the previous game, but that didn’t happen.” In the previous round, the number fourteen of the competition, Al-Adalh, was put aside 0-5. “There are seven games to go,” concludes Garcia. “We will try to recover, but we realize that it will not be easy after we dropped two points. But anything is possible.”
So whether Garcia actually gets the chance to get his team up and running remains to be seen. The precise details about the allegedly troubled relationship between Garcia and his players Mark not go outside. It is clear that there were great frustrations after the draw against Al-Feiha. After the final whistle, Cristiano Ronaldo angrily strode towards the catacombs and sneered at opponent Ali Al-Zaqaan. “You don’t want to play football,” the Portuguese star player angrily shouted at Al-Zaqaan.
