Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr announced former AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli as its manager to replace Luis Castro in a statement said on Wednesday.
The side, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, parted ways with Portuguese coach Castro after a weak start to the season. The Saudi side did not disclose details of Pioli’s deal.
“Pioli Is Nassrawi. we welcome Stefano Pioli as our new coach,” Al-Nassr posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Pioli, 58, who led Milan to be the Italian Champion in 2021-2022, could start his spell when Al-Nassr travels to face Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq on Friday.
