All that can be said is rumors because what is certain is that the dismissal is for the better for the club, because they have big targets and of course, they need not only great players but also a coach who can coordinate all the players well so that the results can be maximized.
It will be interesting to see who the next An Nassr coach will be Ronaldo recommended not only Zinedine Zidane but also Jose Mourinho, this wealthy club is offering $100 million for Mou coach two seasons at this club, but I doubt he will accept because of course he will still be in Rome will be more prestige. Currently, interim coach is Dinko Jelicic.

Is it actually public knowledge that Ronaldo contributed to Rudi getting sacked or is that just rumors? I know that as soon as a coach has to go and Ronaldo plays in that club, people claim that Ronaldo played a role. Now some news outlets claim that Ronaldo said he wants Zidane or Mourinho, but seriously that is delusional. Unless they pay Zidane a couple of hundred million he is not going to coach the Saudi team. Money can achieve everything I know, but this would be against all expectations regardless. Imagine Zidane sitting on the bench for Al-Nassr after winning three Champions League trophies with Real Madrid. It wouldn't feel right for me as a soccer fan.

I can agree with you about this. Rudi Garcia sacking may have nothing to do with Ronaldo, the media sometimes just speculate about it. They made interesting news to attract people and spread uncertain rumors to make people curious. Al Nassr officials probably fired Rudi Garcia because he cannot improve the squad as expected. Although Al Nassr has strong squad but he failed to keep the position at 1st place.

Yes, having Ronaldo on the squad should improve the Al Nasst performance. It is unacceptable to get a draw or a loss against weaker teams. Al Nassr officials have spent a lot of money on signing Ronaldo. They expect more from the coach to win the title, but it seems harder for Al Nassr because they missed points in a few matches.

The points difference between the two teams were just 1 point. As Al-Nassr draw the match against Al Feiha the difference in point got widened. During the same period Al-Ittihad booked its win against Al-Wehda. We can't be sure of the points to get closer or widen. The hype of Ronaldo keeps the expectation high on Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad being the top team on the table as well as holds the third position to win the Saudi Arabia Pro League title for 8 times. Second position was with Al-Nassr, first is with Al-Hilal (18 titles).

Al ittihad has a big chance of winning the Saudi League this season with a nearly perfect winning record only lost once and 17 wins
but it's not over yet, the competition leaves 7 matches meaning there are still 21 points up for grabs and Al Nassr is only 3 points behind or needs one more win , anything can still happen towards the end of the season.

This is an interesting thing, with Jelicic's success in leading the U-19 Al Nassr team to win the Saudi Arabia Junior League, the senior team occupied by Cristiano will be a separate challenge for his future in the Al Nassr football team. al nassr last won the saudi arab league in the 2018/19 season, even though they finished in 2nd place this season so that's very natural considering al ittihad is a very tough team.

Depends on what a club allows him to do and what they gave him in their first offer. First impression is important as if they allow a player with so many privileges, later they will hardly to control that player in their own rules and discipline. We saw how Mbappe started to react badly and shown his high ego more after PSG signed a new contract with him and gave him so much more power.

Ronaldo was invited to join Al Nassr and his name means a lot of things for Al Nassr and Saudi Professional League in general. Therefore he feel like he has big influence there and can make big request to his club to satisfy his high ego and demand to win titles, have better players in the club to increase a squad power and chance to win titles.

We should all know that Ronaldo will influence most of the policies that his club will follow. There are indications that Ronaldo was not pleased with Rudi's tactics. Sacking the coach is not the right decision because he was not underperforming. The club is second in the pro league and they have been winning matches.

Ronaldo seems to always cause confusion and a problem anywhere he goes and always wants to control the club. He is always complaining and showing signs of dissatisfaction with the club's results and tactics. Let's see what  Dinko Jelicic will achieve but his biggest challenge might be how to please the defacto coach: Cristiano Ronaldo.

If we look at what is circulating in the news in the mass media, then of course the news that is conveyed is always associated with Ronaldo. because well that's what you said. that this was done to increase the traffic of the news site.

and regarding the dismissal of Rudi Garcia, it seems that it is not directly related to Ronaldo. but there was indeed an incident related to Rudi Garcia where there was a bit of a commotion with the Al-nassr players. and not just with Ronaldo. And the Al-Nassr club actually fired their coach quite often in the middle of the season when the club's performance did not improve. and Al-Nassr in several matches did seem to have decreased. and I think this is the reason why Rudi Garcia was fired from Al-Nassr. but the news media magnified the issue of Rudi Garcia arguing with the players. even though the coach's disputes with the players are quite common. so no need to exaggerate. but the news media always embellish every news in order to attract readers.
there are even 5 names of top-class coaches who have experienced the same thing as Rudi Garcia. namely sacked by Al-nassr in the middle of the season. one of them is Walter Zenga and Fabio Cannavaro. So I think this is a fairly common thing at the Al-nassr club.

When it comes to the media news about Ronaldo, I don't believe anything they say because they always have an agenda to paint him as the bad guy as that's what sell their news and brings traffic to their site. Ronaldo is always the villain and any negative news in a club that he's playing at falls back to him even when he had nothing to do with it. This isn't the first time we're seeing stories like he isn't happy with a manager when there's no signs of him to be unhappy. Ronaldo was getting enough playing time, scoring freekicks and goals in almost every game so why should he be unhappy.

The club and fans has welcome him warmly and you can see he's enjoying his time at the club so why should he want the manager fired. Go look into the managerial history of the Saudi professional league, they often sack their managers when they aren't getting what they want so them sacking the coach isn't a surprise to people that are familiar with the league. It just looks surprising to those just joining the league due to Ronaldo influence.

the result of the match between al hilal vs al inner was truly surprising, no one expected the team that would be relegated to be able to beat al hilal with a narrow score of 1-0. al hilal's next opponent is al nassr, if in this match al nassr can't win big then al ittihad officially becomes the SPL champion this season, al nassr's strength is still in doubt so far even though cristiano has played full and has always been a starter in almost every match played al nassr.

Continued match with short time gaps is really an acceptable reason for the decline in the performance. During the same time period other teams have played just 2 matches and to the max 3 matches played by few teams. Among that it was able to win two matches against Al-khaleej and Al Feiha. Big loss against Al-Shabab and disappointment against Al-Batin, draw against Al-Ta'ee. Then onwards the schedule isn't that close and can expect better performance coming out of the team.

Teams have begun to perform better than expected and the same makes the competence tough for the teams on the top of the table. Any small mistakes could easily drag them down. With this upcoming Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr have gained more expectation.

As I said before, that Al Hilal is in a very unpleasant condition with a very busy schedule. imagine, since April 2nd, Al Hilal has played 5 matches. meaning, in every 3 days, this team has to play whether it's a home game or an away game. that means, in two weeks Al Hilal played 6 matches at once. including, the match against Al Nassr on April 19.

I think, specilogically, the impact will be felt for the Al Hilal players and the lightest effect is a decrease in performance. in fact, we can see and compare when Al Hilal played some of his matches. since fighting Al Fayha, Al Hilal has experienced a decline in performance and collapsed in the next match against Al Shabab. besides that, Al Hilal faced problems against Al Ta'ee which ended with a score of 2-2. three days later, Al Hilal visited Al Batin.

Unfortunately, even though Al Hilal controlled 79% ball possession, 25 total shots, 3 of which were on target, 10 missed shots and 11 blocked shots. unfortunately, they missed 1 big chance and 1 big missed chance. as a result, Al Batin was able to break the dominance that Al Hilal always won. next, Al Hilal will host Al Nassr. Al Nassr should have taken advantage of the situation and conditions that were being experienced by A Hilal. after all, this match was crucial for both teams. because, both of them have rivalry in every battle for the Saudi Pro League trophy. So, the battle between these two teams is a battle for prestige from the top teams in this competition.

Are we 100% sure about that, how are you so sure about it? I mean you literally said "had nothing to do with it" like you are certain about it. However, before manager was sacked, we literally saw people talk about Ronaldo not being happy about the manager, and then a few days later we saw the manager being sacked, that makes me feel like there was some connection somehow, not saying there was, I can't also provide a concrete proof that it was him that wanted the manager to be sacked neither, so I can't say it was him, but I also can't say it had nothing to do with him neither.

This is a deal where we can't possibly know if it was him or not, so we should not be certain about what we think, maybe it was him, maybe it wasn't we can't know.

This should have been an easy victory for Al-Hilal, but what happened was the opposite, instead Al-Hilal had to accept defeat against the hosts Al-Batin with a narrow score. I also underestimated Al-Batin because it was certain that they would lose against a team that was far from the top and it seemed like this was a serious blow for me because I underestimated the relegation team. But so far Al-Batin will still need at least 6 points to get out of the danger zone and for Al-Hilal as one of the big teams in the SPL they have a pretty bad record with this defeat.

The sacking had nothing to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, so we have to ignore any media propaganda that'll be ongoing for sometime now, the Saudi Arabia league has a high rate of sacking managers and Al Nassr aren't any different from the rest of the other clubs as they would had done they same if they have the quality that's in the team and yet the team is behind in the league with just few matches to the end of the season.

I support the sacking of the manager, he should be winning every game and dominating the top of the table, you can't have a player like Cristiano Ronaldo in such a poor league as the Saudi professional league and still with all the goals that he's scoring and yet they aren't leading the table. Maybe the new manager will come with a different techniques that'll bring results to the club. Al Nassr does have the players to get results and they need to win this season title.

Al-Hilal was busy enjoying ball possession while Al Biten was taking all the changes they could have to push their attack. The match is an indication that it is not the team that plays the most entertaining football that finally wins. Al Biten is doing everything possible to escape relegation. Although they are at the bottom of the table but if they can win all their game and another team's performance becomes low, they might come out of the relegation zone. While Al-Hilal lost the opportunity to advance to the top four spots. The end of the season is a very interesting moment in every league because there will always be surprising performances and results.

Have one interested fact about Cristiano Ronaldo after Rudi Garcia sacking as Al-Nassr manager, any rumors indicated about Rudi Garcia leave his position after Cristiano Ronaldo recommended for team management. Exactly, Al-Nassr not have bad performance won 16 of 23 games, 5 draws and 2 loss its seems failed for Rudi Garcia with 3 points remaining with the top standing awhile from AL Ittihad.

Interesting who will be new manager for Al-Nassr after Rudi Garcia sacking and right now still not official announcement from management for becoming Al-Nassr head coach. I dislike with Cristiano Ronaldo about Rudi Garcia sacked as manager because he has a lot intervention with manager position.

With football we were able to experience similar kind of results quite rare. With tennis quite often the results used to be completely unexpected. If we have placed against the odds suggested by the platform we could've got good profit. Al-Hilal placed at the 4^th position on the points table losing to the team at the last position on the points table is completely unbelievable. Based on the match statistics, Al-Hilal leads in each and everything but they weren't able to convert the shots into goals. Upcoming week we've got some matches with big expectation and the win of Al-Hilal had increased the expectations.

Thats why i can never give any game an 100 percent trust because i just lost a 15$ stake on my rollbit account on parley selection which i added this particular match because of the statistics showing between the two teams and i never expected this shocked defeat by al hilal, i mean i have been following up with this saudi arabia league and so far i have had a fair share of successful prediction but today this suprised results just shocked me and its a clear definition that soccer is a game of many surprises.
