Former Olympique Lyon chief Juninho Pernambucano has launched a stunning attack on Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia.

Garcia is preparing to work with new signing and former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

And Juninho, who worked with Garcia at OL, scoffed to Maisfutebol: "He (Garcia) will not dare to do anything that stands in the way, on the contrary, he will even serve breakfast to Cristiano if he has to.

"He will try to be Cristiano's friend, be close and he will do everything to succeed. It will be a dream for him to befriend Cristiano Ronaldo.

"My experience with Rudi Garcia was horrible. He is the worst character I have ever met in my entire career in football. He doesn't know how to lead anything. He leads through the fear he imposes on others. He only respects people who have power or who he can benefit from in the relationship. For Rudi Garcia, the success of the team and the atmosphere in the dressing room don't matter.

"The important thing is that he is at the centre of attention, even if it is in crises. But like all very cold people, he recognizes those who are bigger than him and tries to take advantage of it. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest in football history, a legend, and Rudi knows it."
