Al-Nassr have reportedly dismissed head coach Rudi Gracia Garcia due to a run of disappointing results and his poor relationship with the players.
Rudi Garcia is expected to leave his role as Al-Nassr manager with immediate effect after the club's senior figures decided to pull the plug on his time in charge.

"I asked them to play at the same level as the last game , but this didn't happen."
The report also suggests that the Portugal captain, Ronaldo is unhappy with Garcia and his tactics as he believes the coach could be getting much more from Al-Nassr players.
