Fernando Hierro, former Real Madrid player and assistant coach, will be the new Sports Director of Al Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo is playing.
Chivas – the Mexican football team – is focusing on preparing for an important confrontation with Toluca in the Liguilla Quarterfinals; However, in the midst of this tense situation, news suddenly appeared from Spain that Fernando Hierro would leave Mexico to take up the position of sports director at Al-Nasrr in Saudi Arabia. He is currently doing the same job for Chivas Club.
The decision comes after weeks of speculation over the Spanish legend’s future, with rumors linking him with Cristiano Ronaldo’s side. Sports journalist Fernando Cevallos confirmed the authenticity of the offer, describing the contract that Al Nassr offered Hierro as irresistible. Today, reports once again point to Hierro’s impending departure from Chivas, highlighting that Hierro has traveled to Saudi Arabia to finalize the signing.

“The negotiations started a few weeks ago and as Relevo knows, the agreement will not take long,” Matteo Morretto reported on Relevo. He added that Hierro went to Riyadh to realize his arrival in one of the leagues that is booming the most thanks to its economic strength.
After signing the stars, Al-Nassr wants to strengthen the coaching team and those working in the management team. A perfectly outlined plan convinced the former Real Madrid star to leave Mexico to join the Arab world. The Spanish midfielder worked for Real Madrid’s coaching staff in the 2014-2015 season as an assistant coach.
