The way Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United surprised many supporters. The situation, which was brimming with tension, came to a close after Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag adopted an approach without CR7. Moreover, the Portuguese international gave a controversial interview with Piers Morgan, and United terminated his contract. After that, Al-Nassr came knocking for Ronaldo, who now plays soccer in Saudi Arabia.

However, the club still seems to be struggling. The situation is turning sour, with Ronaldo at the helm. Al Nassr’s president recently resigned after the poor run of results. It prompts issues deep inside the club as the Saudi Arabian side struggles to find form.

Musalli sent his resignation letter to the Ministry of Sports, and they will dissolve the board members. The club will probably announce its next president at the end of the season. The executive became the main reason for Ronaldo to join the club. People predicted Ronaldo to steamroll the league and help them win a title. But the complete picture has been derailed.

Rudi Garcia resigned from the club

Following a streak of bad results, the previous Roma manager departed from the organization, and reports suggested Ronaldo and Rudi were in disagreement. Garcia failed to turn the tables as the club kept losing. Al Nassr is looking to make a deal with the available world-class managers out there. Keeping Ronaldo happy would be the key to the club’s success because of his winning pedigree.
