Recently, Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal announced that their head coach, Rudi Garcia, would be leaving the team. The U19 coach, Goran Jerkovic, will take over temporarily. Al Hilal's captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, bid farewell to Garcia on social media, after having worked with him for three months.

Ronaldo took to social media to express his gratitude to Garcia, who was the first coach he worked with in the Saudi Arabian league. Ronaldo wrote, "It was a pleasure working with you, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors," and included a photo of himself with Garcia.

Ronaldo's farewell message indicates that he had a good working relationship with Garcia, which contradicts previous reports that Ronaldo wanted the team to fire Garcia and hire a high-profile coach. However, it's been reported that Al Hilal does want to bring in a big-name coach, and they have reportedly offered Zinedine Zidane the position. If Zidane declines, the club may attempt to lure Jose Mourinho, whose contract with AS Roma is set to expire this summer.bästa fotbollsskorna 2023

Ronaldo's farewell message to Garcia demonstrates that their relationship was positive, but it also suggests that his relationship with former Portugal coach Fernando Santos has soured. After Portugal's disappointing exit from the quarterfinals of the Qatar World Cup, the Portuguese Football Federation announced that Santos, who had coached the team for eight years, would be leaving. Despite having worked closely with Santos for eight years, Ronaldo has not publicly said goodbye to him. He still harbors resentment towards Santos for choosing to start young player Goncalo Ramos instead of him in a match during the World Cup, which has left a bitter taste in Ronaldo's mouth.
