Mohammed Al-Sukait, the Secretary-General of the Board of Directors of Al-Nassr Saudi Club and the Executive Director of Governance, Compliance, and Risk, has officially resigned from his position and membership on the board, in a surprising move that comes amid rapid administrative and sporting developments within the club. Al-Sukait only justified his decision by citing personal circumstances without disclosing further details.
The resignation coincided with Ronaldo's return to training
The resignation came after Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the team's training, following the resolution of an administrative crisis that stirred controversy within the club's corridors. Ronaldo had expressed reservations about some administrative decisions, including the investment fund's support for Al-Hilal Club, as well as the reduction of powers for several executives.
Restoring administrative powers calms the atmosphere within the team
Media sources reported that Al-Nassr's management decided to restore the administrative and sporting powers to both CEO Jose Semedo and Sporting Director Simao Coutinho, in addition to paying employee salaries, which contributed to resolving the crisis and allowed Ronaldo to participate in training.
Expected administrative changes within the club
Saudi media reports revealed that Al-Sukait's resignation was part of broader arrangements to restructure the club's administrative system, with expectations of changes that may include leadership positions in the upcoming period, in an attempt to restore stability within the sports institution.
Media statements behind rising tensions
Reports indicated that one of the media interviews conducted by Chairman Abdullah Al-Majed sparked discontent among the close circle of the team, especially after he criticized the performance of the executive management and the coaching staff led by coach Jorge Jesus, which contributed to escalating tensions within the club.
Efforts to restore technical and administrative stability
Through these measures, Al-Nassr's management aims to contain internal disputes and enhance administrative and technical stability, especially in light of the club's ambitions to compete for local and continental championships in the upcoming phase.
