Mohamed Al-Sukait Resigns from Al-Nassr Amid Administrative Restructuring

Mohamed Al-Sukait, the Secretary General of the Board of Directors for Saudi club Al-Nassr and the Executive Director of Governance, Compliance, and Risk, has officially announced his resignation from his position and board membership. This unexpected move comes amid significant administrative and sporting developments within the club. Al-Sukait cited personal reasons for his decision but did not provide further details.

The resignation coincides with Ronaldo's return to training

Al-Sukait's departure follows the return of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to team training, after a resolution to an administrative crisis that had stirred controversy within the club. Ronaldo had previously voiced concerns over certain administrative decisions, including the investment fund's support for rival club Al-Hilal, as well as the diminishing authority of several executives within the administration.

Restoration of executive powers calms the environment

Media sources reported that Al-Nassr's management decided to restore the administrative and sporting powers of Executive Director José Semedo and Sporting Director Simao Coutinho, in addition to settling employee salaries. These actions were aimed at alleviating the crisis and facilitating Ronaldo's return to training.

Anticipated administrative changes within the club

Saudi media reports indicate that Al-Sukait's resignation is part of broader efforts to restructure the club's administrative system, with expectations of leadership changes in the near future as part of an initiative to restore stability within the sports institution.

Media statements contribute to rising tensions

Reports suggest that a recent media interview with Board Chairman Abdullah Al-Majid sparked discontent among the team's inner circle, particularly after he criticized the performance of the executive administration and the coaching staff led by Jorge Jesus, which contributed to escalating tensions within the club.

Efforts to regain technical and administrative stability

Through these measures, Al-Nassr's management aims to mitigate internal conflicts and strengthen administrative and technical stability, especially in light of the club's ambitions to compete in local and continental championships in the upcoming phase.
