Cristiano Ronaldo advocating for former manager to join Al-Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo is negotiating the arrival of Zinedine Zidane to Al-Nassr. The Frenchman had coached Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid, with the two winning three Champions Leagues consecutively.
According to CBS Sports, the Saudi Arabian side would offer Zidane a lucrative contract in a bid to finish the season as champions of the Saudi League. Ronaldo wants to see his club make a move to sign the Galactico as their future coach.
There had been rumours of Al-Nassr looking to pry Jose Mourinho from Roma as well. The five-time Champions League winner achieved his best goalscoring forms under Mourinho and Zidane. Should the Saudi club be able to convince Zidane to join them, there is no doubt that Ronaldo will return to his best under the Frenchman.
