Al-Nassr is reportedly close to dismissing head coach Stefano Pioli following the team’s exit from the AFC Champions League after a semi-final loss to Kawasaki Frontale. Pioli, who joined Al-Nassr at the start of the 2024-25 season and has a contract running until 2027, has faced tension with players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, and the team is currently third in the Saudi Pro League. If Pioli departs, he may return to Serie A, with several clubs, including Roma and Napoli, potentially looking for new head coaches.
