It is revealed that Riyadh Victory has dismissed the commander! lost 5 championships in 1 year of coaching, broke up with Ronaldo and complained to each other

On August 18, Beijing time, the latest news from Saudi media Al Yaum, according to people familiar with the matter, the team has fired 62-year-old head coach Castro after Riyadh's victory lost to Crescent and missed the Saudi Super Cup.

Castro took office as the coach of Victory in July 2023, and since he has been in charge, he has led the team to play 50 games, with 35 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. However, in the past year, Castro has led the team to miss out on five titles. Last season, Riyadh Victory finished second in the league, as many as 14 points behind eventual champions Riyadh Crescent.

In the AFC Champions League, Riyadh Victory was eliminated by U.A.E. team Ain 5-7 on aggregate over two legs, and the upset stopped in the last 8; In last season's Sand Crown Cup, Riyadh Victory lost 5-6 to Riyadh Crescent on penalties in the final. In the semi-finals of last season's Saudi Super Cup, Riyadh Victory lost 1-2 to Riyadh Crescent and was excluded from the final. In this season's Saudi Super Cup final, Riyadh Victory lost 1-4 to Riyadh Crescent again, unfortunately missing the championship.

Despite his team's good win rate, Castro was never able to help his team beat Riyadh Crescent. In this Saudi Super Cup final, Castro is suspected of having clashed with Ronaldo. After conceding the goal, Ronaldo was suspected of being dissatisfied with the poor performance of the defense, and had a heated exchange with coach Castro on the sidelines, making a sleeping gesture, and the two were emotional and spread their hands to each other, and then Ronaldo made an indecent gesture to Castro towards the back line and humiliated his teammates.

Losing the support of the team's leaders, it is no surprise that Castro was eventually sacked by Riyadh Victory. The latest news from foreign media, Riyadh Victory is fully inviting another Portugal coach and former Porto meritorious coach Conceição to take over the team.
