Stefano Pioli Nears Coaching Deal with Saudi Al-Nasr Club
According to a recent report by Italian newspaper “Gazzetta dello Sport”, former Milan coach Stefano Pioli is on the verge of taking over as coach of Saudi Al-Nasr club.
Earlier in the summer transfer window, Pioli was close to signing a deal with Al-Ittihad club, which included an annual contract worth 10 million euros plus bonuses. However, the negotiations broke down unexpectedly.
Several Saudi media outlets have hinted at the possibility of Pioli replacing current Al-Nasr coach Luis Castro, sparking speculation about the Italian coach’s potential move.
The coaching situation is expected to be resolved in the coming days, with Pioli’s potential appointment set to be confirmed soon.
If Pioli takes the reins at Al-Nasr, he will have the opportunity to work with international stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Marcelo Brozovic. Meanwhile, Milan is expected to benefit from Pioli’s departure, saving his annual salary of 4 million euros, as his contract with the Italian club runs until 2025.
