Al-Nassr Executive Mohammed Al-Sukait Resigns Amid Club Restructuring

Mohammed Al-Sukait, the Secretary-General of the Board of Directors at Al-Nassr Football Club, has officially stepped down from his role, a move that comes during a period of significant administrative and sporting changes within the organization. Al-Sukait attributed his resignation to personal reasons but did not provide further details.

The timing of his resignation aligns with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to training, following the resolution of a recent administrative crisis that had generated considerable controversy within the club. Ronaldo had previously voiced concerns regarding certain management decisions, including the investment fund's backing of rival club Al-Hilal and the diminishing authority of several executives.

Restoration of executive powers helps ease tensions

Reports indicate that Al-Nassr's management has moved to restore the administrative and sporting authority of both CEO Jose Semedo and Sporting Director Simao Coutinho. Additionally, the payment of employee salaries has been reinstated, contributing to the resolution of the crisis and allowing Ronaldo to resume training.

Anticipated changes in club leadership

Saudi media have suggested that Al-Sukait's resignation is part of a broader strategy to overhaul the club's administrative framework, with expectations of forthcoming changes in leadership roles aimed at reinstating stability within the organization.

Media statements exacerbate tensions

Reports have pointed to a media interview conducted by Chairman Abdullah Al-Majed, which reportedly caused dissatisfaction among team insiders. His criticism of the executive management and coaching staff, led by coach Jorge Jesus, has been linked to rising tensions within the club.

Efforts to stabilize management and technical operations

Through these initiatives, Al-Nassr's management seeks to address internal conflicts and bolster both administrative and technical stability, particularly as the club aims to compete for local and continental titles in the near future.
