Cristiano Ronaldo rings at John Textor and finds his happiness

Saudi Arabia is about to get its hands on Luis Castro, the current coach of Botafogo, club of a certain… John Textor.

A few hours ago, John Textor railed against the compulsive purchase of players by Saudi Arabia. “They want my best player at Lyon, my best player at Crystal Palace, the best players and my coach at Botafogo. Their strategy is to buy everything” railed the American owner of Olympique Lyonnais. Everyone then stopped on his first sentence, the one where he evokes the interest of the Saudis for the best player of OL, namely Alexandre Lacazette, who received a firm offer from Saudi Arabia .

But in his statement, John Textor also mentioned an interest in his current coach at Botafogo, Luis Castro. The Saudis’ interest in the Portuguese coach is about to pay off and there is no doubt that the American businessman, owner of OL, Crystal Palace and Botafogo will be fuming. According to the information revealed by Foot Mercato, an agreement has been reached for Luis Castro to leave Botafogo and become Cristiano Ronaldo’s new coach at Al-Nassr.

Luis Castro directly recommended by Ronaldo

The media reveals that the former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker personally recommended Luis Castro to his Saudi leaders so that they poach him from Botafogo. There is no doubt that John Textor will be furious as ever, he who rails strongly against the compulsive investments of Saudi Arabia since the start of the transfer window, whether for the players but therefore also for the coaches. For his part, Cristiano Ronaldo therefore won his case, he who no longer got along with Rudi Garcia and who had participated in the dismissal of the coach who was then appointed to Naples. And the Portuguese then actively chose Rudi Garcia’s successor by setting his sights on Luis Castro…
