Prior to this, Al-Nassr officially announced the hiring of Italian coach Pioli, a decision that has drawn much criticism. In response, sports director Fernando Hierro stated that this was the best decision after comprehensive consideration.
Hierro said, “If we hired a Spanish coach, fans might think he was brought in by me. If we chose a Portuguese coach, everyone would think he was brought in by Ronaldo. Now that we have settled on an Italian coach, I am the one making the technical decisions.”
“I am very grateful for the work done by Castro and his team; he is very professional and a great person. The timing of the decision to terminate the contract is right for us. What is important for us is to think about the present and future of the club.”
