The Portuguese star missed the last two matches for the club.
According to a report from Ariyadhiah, Abdullah Al Majid, the president of Al Nassr, is expected to be sacked after his recent remark against Cristiano Ronaldo.
This comes after Ronaldo’s protests against PIF for failing to provide the team with financial support during the transfer window, which resulted in his absence from the last two Al-Nassr games.
Al-Nassr, however, were hoping that the Portuguese star would eventually put an end to his protest and play in their next match after missing the two games.
