JAKARTA - Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr officially ended their collaboration with the coach, Rudi Garcia. The team's separation from Garcia was discovered after the club posted an announcement on Twitter on Thursday, April 13 evening WIB.
In the announcement, it was explained that Rudi Garcia's departure from Al Nassr's coaching chair was based on a joint decision.
"Al Nassr mengumumkan bahwa pelatih kepala, Rudi Garcia, telah meninggalkan klub berdasarkan kesepakatan bersama," tulis pihak klub.
After announcing Rudi Garcia's departure, Al Nassr immediately introduced a new coach to the main squad. The Saudi Arabian club decided to appoint the Jelicic City Office as a replacement for Rudi Garcia.

Dinko Jelicic himself is a Croatian coach who was previously trusted to lead the U-19 team at Al Nassr since the end of July 2022. Although not even one year, Jelicic got the opportunity to lead Cristiano Ronaldo et al in the first team.
Jelicic is believed to replace Rudi Garcia with a tough challenge. He received responsibility when Al Nassr was competing at the top of the 2022/2023 Saudi Arabian League standings by ranking second with a collection of 53 points from 23 matches.
Al Nassr then thanked Rudi Garcia and his training team for all the contributions given for eight months in charge of the team. The club did not forget to thank Rudi Garcia for the hard work that Rudi Garcia had shown.
"The board and everyone at Al Nassr would like to thank Rudi and his staff for their hard work over the past 8 months," the club wrote.
