Al-Nassr has dismissed manager Stefano Pioli after a tenure of less than a year, having joined the club in September 2024. Under Pioli, the team secured a third-place finish in the league but fell short by 13 points from champions Al-Ittihad. His exit comes amid ongoing speculation regarding superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's contract, which expires in June. Ronaldo expressed gratitude for Pioli's leadership through a social media message. The club has also hinted at confidence in retaining the Portuguese forward for future seasons.
"Mr Pioli and his staff are no more the acting coaching staff of the first team. We would like to thank Mr Pioli and his staff for their dedicated work during the past season."
"Thanks for everything," Ronaldo wrote in a message on social media following the news of Pioli's exit.
