Al-Nassr announce Rudi Garcia departure

Saudi giants Al-Nassr have announced manager Rudi Garcia has left the club.

The Pro League side, who signed Cristiano Ronaldo in the winter, are in second place in their domestic league.

After a goalless draw against Al-Feiha on Sunday, Garcia is said to have been involved in a huge row with his players.

Under 19 coach Dinko Jelicic will be in charge for the time being at Al-Nassr.

A statement on social media read: “Al-Nassr can announce that Head Coach Rudi Garcia has left the Club by mutual agreement.

“The board and everyone at Al-Nassr would like to thank Rudi and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 8 months."
