Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in pursuit of Lionel Messi's former manager

Al-Nassr recently parted ways with Rudi Garcia and have appointed Dinko Jelicic as their manager. However, the under-19 coach is not expected to be in charge for the long term.

Al-Nassr are expected to explore options for a new permanent manager. Gerardo Martino, who previously managed Lionel Messi's Argentina, is one of the men in the shortlist to become Ronaldo's new manager.

ESPN journalist Fernando Palomo shared the following information on Twitter:

"One learns a lot of things at this point: With the need to replace Rudi Garcia, Al-Nassr would go after (Gerardo) Tata Martino. He could be the only coach in history capable of saying that he has managed Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo."

Garcia was in charge of Al-Nassr for 26 games. He won 18, drew five and lost three of those contests. A draw against Al-Feiha in the Saudi Pro League was his last act as Al-Alami boss.

There are several high-profile names who have been linked with becoming the next Al-Nassr coach. The likes of Zinedine Zidane and Jose Mourinho are reportedly on the shortlist (according to CBS).
