Cristiano Ronaldo has thanked Stefano Pioli after the Italian manager’s departure from Al-Nassr was announced by the Saudi Pro League club.
Former AC Milan boss Pioli was appointed in September but failed to win any silverware during the 2024-25 season.
Al-Nassr finished third in the Saudi Pro League after being knocked out of the Kings Cup and AFC Champions League.
