Riyadh has fired 59-year-old Pioli in victory, Ronaldo won 0 championships in 2 and a half years in Saudi Arabia + cooperated with 5 coaches

Next season, Ronaldo will usher in a new coach with a victory in Riyadh. According to the latest news from several Saudi journalists, Riyadh Victory has fired 59-year-old former Milan coach Pioli. Next, Riyadh victory will find a new coach.

In September last year, Pioli became the head coach of the victory in Riyadh. At that time, the two parties signed a three-year contract, which expired in June 2027. In the 2024-25 season, Riyadh's victory record was not ideal, and all four majors were gone!

The club's senior management was not satisfied with the team's performance and decided to change coaches. Saudi journalist Ali Alabdallh said that Riyadh's victory has now fired Pioli, and the Italian coach will definitely not continue to coach Riyadh's victory next season. Recently, there has been news that Pioli will return to Serie A to coach.

In less than a year of winning in Riyadh, Pioli led the team to play 44 games, with a record of 28 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses. Previously, Saudi media said that Ronaldo is not satisfied with Pioli's ability and he hopes that senior management will change coach this summer. The outside world suspects that Pioli's dismissal this time has a direct relationship with Ronaldo's request.

After the fire of Pioli, Riyadh's victorious senior management will immediately start the appointment of the new coach. It is reported that Riyadh won the victory to contact Spalletti, who had just been dismissed from the Italian national team, and offered him a contract with an annual salary of 18 million euros.

For Ronaldo, Pioli's departure means that he will usher in the fifth coach of his Saudi career. In January 2023, Ronaldo joined Riyadh to win, and the team coach was Rudy Garcia. In April 2023, Garcia was dismissed. Subsequently, the team's U19 coach Jelic became the first team coach. In July 2023, Castro replaced Jelicic and became the head coach of the first team. One year later, Castro was replaced by Pioli. The contract between Ronaldo and Riyadh won will expire at the end of this month. At present, the two parties have not signed a new contract. However, Ronaldo has publicly stated this week that he will stay in Riyadh to win. Saudi media revealed that Ronaldo's annual salary for winning in Riyadh next season is still 200 million euros.
