Al-Nassr have confirmed that manager Rudi Garcia has left the club, just a day after reports emerged of an apparent feud with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Saudi Pro League side confirmed that Garcia had been relieved of his duties on Thursday in a short club statement.

“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,” it read.

Marca reports that Rudi Garcia was dismissed by Al-Nassr due to his poor relationship with the dressing room.

The straw that broke the camel’s back of the club’s patience and triggered his departure was a confrontation he had with his players.

Beyond the extra-sporting shenanigans, Garcia has also failed to live up to the expectations set out in his club’s ambitious project.

With seven games left to play, Al Nassr currently sit second in the standings, three points behind Al Ittihad, to whom they recently lost.

They were also knocked out of the Arabian Super Cup in the semi-finals against all odds.

Garcia had been Al-Nassr’s coach since last summer, when he landed in Saudi Arabia to replace Miguel Angel Russo.
