Al-Nassr head coach Luis Castro is set to be dismissed

According to reports, former AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is set to take over as the new manager of Al-Nassr.

Sportitalia’s transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports exclusively that the departure of Al-Nassr manager Luis Castro is imminent, and Pioli is just one step away from taking over the role. It is worth noting that Pioli was previously very close to coaching another Saudi club, Ittihad FC, this summer.

However, the idea was eventually abandoned due to opposition from Karim Benzema and the resignation of the club president.
