The Saudi Pro League is home to one of the greatest soccer players of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo. He arrived at Al Nassr amidst much fanfare, but the team struggled for consistent form. However, things are getting back to normal. With three games to go, things are looking tight in the Saudi league. Ronaldo scored his 13th goal of the season, and his club defeated Al-Tai.

Ronaldo scored his fifth penalty goal of the season and took his team to 60 points. Right now, Al-Ittihad leads the league with 63 points. But the news of Radoi is surprising as the club lies in 7th place. The game finished 2-0, and Radoi faced the sack. Mirel is one of the best coaches in the league, and the Romanian legend has a career to remember. In 2008, he joined the Saudi Arabian team, Al-Hilal, after moving from Steaua Bucharest. Since then, he played in the Saudi Pro League and made an everlasting difference. 

He returned to Romania to start his coaching career and joined the national team with various other roles. Soon after, he returned to the place where he began his playing career. Likewise, he was also a mainstay in the Romanian national team, helping them to qualify for the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament. But now, he leaves the club with Ronaldo charging ahead for his first Saudi Pro League title.
