Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of last year surprised everyone when he signed with the Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr. This move made headlines around the world as it was the biggest contract ever offered in the history of soccer. Issued with a lot of potential and promises, the club seemed to be full of expectations for the season.
However, it seemed that the promises failed to deliver after an unfulfilling season. Al-Nassr didn’t manage to take home any trophy despite boasting one of the best players of all time. Al-Nassr got eliminated from the domestic league tournaments and finished second in the Saudi Pro League. It is an underwhelming result to swallow after all the anticipation created by the signing of Ronaldo.
Nevertheless, Al-Nassr is showing a resilient attitude and is not letting the unfulfilled promises drag them down. With their eyes already set on the next season, the club is looking to give a big turn to their fortunes.

Pellegrini is a former manager of Real Madrid and Manchester City. Pellegrini has a long and proud history when it comes to managing teams. The Chilean coach has also been able to win the Premier League during his tenure in Manchester. If the negotiations do succeed Al-Nassr will have access to an experienced coach who has displayed his skill numerous times in the past.

The impact of Pellegrini signing with the Al-Nassr could prove to be huge. With his extensive knowledge of the game and experience managing this could be a decisive factor in the club reaching its goals. His skill as a coach may be the factor that provides the club with the missing link that it needs.
So, although it is still too early to make any significant predictions it is very likely that the signing could be a major milestone in the club’s success. We’ll have to wait and see if the talks come to fruition, but with the current situation, one can only hope that things go in favor of Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo.
