Fans of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr have voiced their displeasure with manager Stefano Pioli, asking that the Italian tactician be relieved of his duty. The former AC Milan boss oversaw a disappointing 2-1 defeat to minnows Al-Orobah in a game that essentially ends his side’s hopes of winning the league title.
Al-Nassr sat nine points behind leaders Al-Ittihad before their Matchday 23 clash against Al-Orobah, and had a chance to momentarily move closer to their rivals. With Al-Ittihad not in action until Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates had a chance to put them under a bit of pressure.
Al-Orobah pulled off an impressive upset, handing the Knights of Najd a second defeat in three league games. The result was difficult to accept for the fans of the club, who demanded an end to the tenure of Stefano Pioli as manager of the club immediately.
They made their wishes known through posts on X which were aimed at the Italian manager.
A fan asked that the manager tenders his resignation.
Another fan expressed their anger at the kind of football coached by Pioli.
A fan expressed their regret at the dismissal of former manager Luis Castro, pointing out Pioli’s perceived negative tactics.
