With Al Nassr sacking Rudi Garcia this week, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly identified two big-name coaches who could take over as head coach.
Various reports claim the Portuguese superstar had a say in Garcia being relieved of his duties after becoming frustrated with the coach after their Saudi Pro League titles took a hit.
It seems Ronaldo is hoping for another blockbuster arrival in Saudi Arabia, as CBS Sports have reported that Ronaldo's former managers Zinedine Zidane and Jose Mourinho have now been included on the club's wish list.

Zidane remains out of work after parting with Real Madrid in 2021, while Didier Deschamps also extended his contract with the French national team after the World Cup last year.
Ronaldo enjoyed great success under Zidane at Los Blancos, where the pair won three successive UEFA Champions League titles and one LaLiga crown.
Meanwhile, Mourinho is the other name that has reportedly been added to the list although the Portuguese tactician has been on the books of AS Roma since 2021.
Like Zidane, the Portuguese tactician coached Ronaldo during his three-year stint at Los Blancos where they won one LaLiga title and a Copa del Rey title.
The report adds that a marquee managerial appointment can help grow the Saudi Arabian club's profile but it remains to be seen if any candidates would be persuaded to leave Europe.
