Al-Nassr Part Ways with Head Coach Luis Castro

 


Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr has parted ways with head coach Luis Castro after just one year at the helm. Castro's dismissal comes after a string of disappointing results, which have left the team struggling across all competitions at the start of the season.

During his 54-game tenure with Al-Nassr, Castro was unable to secure any silverware and finished as runners-up in the Saudi Pro League, leading to the decision to relieve him of his duties.

The club is reportedly in talks to replace the Portuguese manager, with former AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli expected to step in. Pioli led Milan to a Serie A title in the 2021/22 season, ending their decade-long drought for a league championship.

Al-Nassr confirmed Castro's departure on their official X account (formerly Twitter), expressing gratitude for his contributions:

"Al Nassr can announce that Head Coach Luis Castro has left the Club. Everyone at Al Nassr would like to thank Luis and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 14 months, and we wish them the best of luck for the future."

Pioli, if appointed, brings with him a wealth of experience and success, and Al-Nassr fans will be hoping his arrival can turn around the club's fortunes.
