Replaced Ronaldo, fierce confrontation in the locker room, now Pioli risks dismissal

If there's one thing that's certain about Cristiano Ronaldo, it's that he never likes to be substituted during a match.

When this happens, he doesn't hesitate to openly express his disappointment. He did the same in Al Nassr's recent challenge against Al Khoolod.

Ronaldo was seen disappointed when coach Stefano Pioli decided to replace him.

The Italian coach may have thought that this substitution would keep Ronaldo from getting tired, but it risks costing him the Saudi bench.

According to media reports close to the club, it is said that there was a fierce confrontation between the two in the locker room, which could have consequences.

Pioli risks being fired from Al Nassr management. Apart from clashing with Ronaldo, who is undoubtedly the most important player in the team for many reasons, Pioli does not have the results in his favor either.

Third place in the standings, 10 points behind leaders Al Ittihad, makes the decision to dismiss even more likely.

In Italy, several teams are closely monitoring Pioli's situation, as they will be changing coaches in the summer. Roma seem to have the upper hand at the moment, but the coming weeks will be decisive.
