Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been involved in their search for a new head coach.

The Saudi Pro League club parted company with Rudi Garcia in April after they failed to win their domestic league.

Now they are set to appoint Luis Castro, a Portuguese head coach, in the coming days.

Per Foot Mercato in France and journalist Bruno Andrade, Ronaldo was a big part of the negotiations.

He helped convince Castro to come to the Saudi Pro League, instead of staying at Botafogo in Brazil.

Ronaldo will be hoping that he enjoys a better second season in Saudi, after leaving Manchester United last winter.
