Pleasure to have worked with you: Criano Ronaldo’s farewell message to former Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia

Al Nassr superstar Criano Ronaldo bade farewell to coach Rudi Garcia after the Frenchman was let go from the Saudi Arabian club.
“Pleasure to have worked with you. Wishing you all the best for the future,” Ronaldo posted in his Instagram story with a photo of himself and Garcia.
Garcia, the former AS Roma and Olympique de Marseille coach, criticised the players after they drew 0-0 with lowly Al Feiha last Sunday in another blow to their hopes of a first league title since 2019, saying: “The result is bad. I don’t feel satisfied with the players”.

Local media reported that Garcia’s relationship with the players prompted the club to dismiss him, as well as dissatisfaction with his style of play.
Al-Nassr, who signed Ronaldo in a deal worth more than $200 million, have collected seven points from their last four league games, dropping to second place in the table, three points behind leaders Al-Ittihad with seven games left in the season.
Al-Nassr lost the Saudi Super Cup final to Al-Ittihad in January and have not beaten any of their closest rivals, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, or Al-Shabab, in the league this season.
