Rudi Garcia sacked as Al Nassr manager after reports claimed Cristiano Ronaldo was

Al-Nassr have confirmed that manager Rudi Garcia has left the club 'by mutual agreement' amid reports that he had a deteriorating relationship with his players and that Cristiano Ronaldo was 'not satisfied' with his tactics.

 

The Saudi Pro League club confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday April 13, and the Frenchman has left the club with immediate effect following an eight-month stint at the club.

 

It was reported that Garcia had a 'blazing dressing room with his players' following a goalless draw with Al-Feiha on Sunday, and that £175m-a-year star Ronaldo was 'not satisfied' with the coach's tactics.

 

The Saudi club have also confirmed that their Under 19 coach Dinko Jelicic will take over as their new head coach.

 

A statement on social media read: 'Al-Nassr can announce that Head Coach Rudi Garcia has left the Club by mutual agreement.

 

'The board and everyone at Al-Nassr would like to thank Rudi and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 8 months.'


Garcia's exit comes in the wake of Ronaldo's furious rant that saw him storm off the pitch on Sunday and told opposition players that they 'don't want to play' 
 

Criticising Al-Nassr players after that performance, Garcia said: 'I don't feel satisfied with [their] performance.

'I asked them to play at the same level as the last game [a 5-0 win over Al-Adalah], but this didn't happen.'

 

Spanish outlet Marca claimed that Ronaldo felt as though Garcia could get more out of his teammates.

 

Garcia took over as manager in the summer as a replacement for Argentine Miguel Angel Russo.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
