Al-Nassr club is implementing the ambition to reunite the pair of identical cards Zidane and Ronaldo, who made a bold mark to help Real Madrid set up a “hat-trick” of the European championship.
Jose Mourinho’s target was unsuccessful and Al-Nassr officials immediately turned to Zinedine Zidane, who is currently a free agent.
The Spanish press reported that President Musalli Al-Muammar admired Zidane as both a player and a coach.
Al-Nassr wants to perform “mission impossible”
Al-Muammar studied sports law in Spain before being appointed chairman of Al-Nassr.
Mr. Al-Muammar became the chairman of Al-Nassr for the first time in 2018, then resigned in January 2020 while being highly appreciated for his management ability.
This position was vacated following the decision of the Saudi Sports Ministry to dissolve Al-Nassr’s board of directors, following some unusual fines from former chairman Safwan Al-Suwaiket.
Al-Muammar returns to the chair of Al-Nassr in 2021. He has ambitions to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia and has succeeded, with a deal of 500 million euros in two and a half years.
Ronaldo brand helps promote Al-Nassr image. Now, Al-Muammar, who is supported by the prince Khalid bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz, begins his ambition to invite Zidane.
Late last year, when Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr after the World Cup in Qatar, Zidane missed the position of head coach of the French team.
In recent times, PSG and Chelsea both contacted “Zizou” but he did not respond.
MU also wanted to bring Zidane back to Old Trafford. The French legend refused, opening the door to Erik ten Hag from Amsterdam to Manchester.
The duo of Zidane and Ronaldo are very good, associated with the period Real Madrid won 3 Champions League titles (2016-2018).
After the 2017-18 Champions League final, beating Liverpool 3-1, Ronaldo was refused a salary increase by President Perez. Therefore, he decided to leave Real Madrid and Zidane actively submitted his resignation.
Al-Nassr is hoping Ronaldo can become the catalyst for Zidane’s move to Saudi Arabian football.
