Cristiano Ronaldo To Link Up With Another Real Madrid Legend At Al-Nassr

Fernando Hierro, a former star of Real Madrid, is expected to join Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he will likely reconnect with Cristiano Ronaldo.

ESPN report that Hierro seems to be nearing an agreement to assume the role of sporting director. The Saudi Pro League runners-up approached the former Spain and Madrid player, who at first refused, but they were able to persuade him to switch with a greater offer.

Hierro’s move to the Saudi club will see him reunite with Ronaldo. Hierro spent 14 years at Madrid as a player before leaving for Qatari club Al-Rayyan in 2003. After his retirement from playing, he joined the Spanish giants as an assistant coach during Ronaldo’s successful spell at the club.

Hierro will once more collaborate with Portugal’s legendary player Ronaldo if he signs with Al-Nassr. He will have to sign more elite players to increase the team’s chances of winning the Saudi championship the next season and unseating Al-Hilal.
