Former Donetsk Shakhtar coach Luis Castro will become a coach at the club from Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo Al-Nasr is finally getting a new head coach. They will be the Portuguese mentor Luis Castro, who previously worked at Shakhtar, and now leads the Brazilian Botafogo. ESPN reported it.
According to the publication, Ronaldo personally contacted his compatriot and convinced him to move to work in the Middle East.
At the same time, Castro has a valid agreement with Botafogo until the end of 2023, but the Saudi leadership easily solved this problem by paying compensation to the Brazilian club in the amount of 2.3 million euros.
So, today’s match of the Copa Sudamericana against Magallanes (1:1) is the last for the Portuguese specialist in Botafogo.
The former coach of the Pitmen took charge of the Brazilian club in March 2022. This season, the team is performing very well under the leadership of the Portuguese, winning 10 victories in 12 rounds of the championship and leading the table with a lead of 7 points from second place.
With Al-Nasr, Castro will sign a two-year contract with an option to extend for another season. So, the 62-year-old Portuguese will replace Rudy Garcia in this post. The Frenchman was sacked in April after criticism from Cristiano Ronaldo.
