Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘sh*t themselves’ gesture to cost boss his job? Luis Castro facing Al-Nassr chop after Super Cup capitulation – with Saudi Pro League season yet to start

Serious questions are being asked of the man in the dugout following a second-half capitulation against Al-Hilal. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-saudi-super-cup-final-goal/bltb94320b1b7a462f9" target="_blank">Ronaldo had put Al-Nassr in front</a> as they sought to land major silverware at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, but the Portuguese <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-goalkeeper-bento-makes-horror-error-aleksandar-mitrovic-superb-brace-hilal/blt59465ac187a5ec37" target="_blank">ended up on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

All four of those goals were scored in a stunning 17-minute passage of play, with Ronaldo clearly frustrated with the effort, or lack of, being put in by those around him. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-lewd-sh-t-themselves-gesture-al-nassr-rages-saudi-super-cup/blt820ba0719a8d7a9f" target="_blank">caught on camera making lewd gestures to his colleagues</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It is now being claimed that head coach Castro, who took charge of Al-Nassr in July 2023, could be relieved of his duties. His representative, Antonio Teixeira, has told <a href="httpsarriyadiyah.com/847165/%D9%88%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%84-%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%88-%D9%84%D9%85-%D9%86%D9%8F%D8%A8%D9%84%D9%8E%D8%BA-%D8%A8%D8%A3%D9%8A-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1..-%D9%88%D9%86%D8%B1%D8%BA%D8%A8-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%82%D9%8A%D9%82-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA " target="_blank">Al-Riyadhiyah</a> as speculation rages: “We were not informed of anything about not continuing. Castro has a passion to achieve championships with the team during the new season, and he was not successful in the Super Cup, but I do not know anything about the others and whether they want to achieve championships or not.”

WHAT CASTRO'S AGENT SAID

Change is being mooted with the new Saudi Pro League season yet to get underway. Ronaldo and Co are due to face Al-Raed in their opener on Thursday. It remains to be seen who will be at the helm and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-sa/lists/new-season-same-goal-secrets-cristiano-ronaldo-success-record-shattering-al-nassr-superstar-more-trophy-bids-39/blte0e1ae5d0fc3f02d" target="_blank">overseeing more bids for major honours</a> by the time all-time great CR7 returns to the field.
