On Tuesday, Al Nassr announced Luis Castro‘s contract termination. With Stefano Pioli already confirmed as his replacement, the Portuguese manager shared his first message after leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and company.
“Now that I cease my functions as Al Nassr’s Head Coach, I want to thank everyone that supported me and worked every day by my side. I wish them great luck and success“, wrote Castro on his Instagram account.
The Portuguese boss left Al Nassr after coaching 54 matches, with 36 wins, 9 draws, and 9 defeats. He also made a new addition to Ronaldo’s trophy collection by defeating Al Hilal 2-1 in the Arab Club Champions Cup in August 2023.
