Cristiano Ronaldo is now poised to work with a new manager, after Al Nassr fired Luis Castro on Tuesday.

Castro was fired after the Saudi Pro League team opened the new season with two draws in their first three matches.

"The club has officially decided to terminate the contractual relationship with Mr. Luis Castro, the first team coach."

"We appreciate all of his efforts with Nassr and wish him success," Al-Nassr stated on X.

Stefano Pioli, the former AC Milan manager, is the'main candidate' to take over after talks over a move to Al-Ittihad fell through.
