Al-Nasr ‌in Talks with Italian Coach ⁣Stefano Pioli to Replace Luis Castro

Al-Nasr club management has entered into ⁢negotiations with Italian coach Stefano Pioli to take over the⁢ technical leadership of ​the club’s football team, replacing Luis Castro.

According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Al-Nasr is in talks with Pioli, but no official agreement has ‌been reached between the two sides. Pioli is reportedly the first candidate⁤ to take over as‌ Al-Nasr’s coach if the club decides to ‌fire Portuguese ‌Luis Castro.

Al-Nasr’s recent results have ‌been disappointing, with the team tying 3, losing one, and winning two in ⁤6 matches in​ the 2024-2025 season. The team’s latest match against Al-Shorta of Iraq in the AFC Elite Champions League ended ‌in a​ positive draw.

Luis Castro has commented on the rumors surrounding his imminent departure from Al-Nasr,‌ stating,‌ “I have been working in training⁣ for ⁤28 years and have never been dismissed.”

Interestingly, Pioli was previously close to taking over the technical leadership of Al-Ittihad before the arrival of Frenchman Laurent Blanc. However, it seems that Pioli may now be in line ⁣to​ take over as Al-Nasr’s coach.
