Al-Nassr have appointed Stefano Pioli as manager to replace Luis Castro, the Saudi Pro League club said on Wednesday.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr parted ways with Portuguese coach Castro after a weak start to the season. The Saudi side did not disclose details of Pioli's deal.
"Pioli Is Nassrawi. we welcome Stefano Pioli as our new coach' Al-Nassr posted on X.
Pioli, 58, who led Milan to be Italian Champions in 2021-2022, could start his spell when Al-Nassr travel to face Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq on Friday.
