Dinko Jelicic, the new coach of Al-Nassr

At the age of 49, the Croatian was already active in the club, as a coach of junior teams, and until the end of the season he will train Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jelicic doesn’t have an impressive resume, having had experience with Croatia’s U19 and U20 national teams and club teams Rudes and Kustosia.

Al-Nassr are a key target for the bench, hoping to convince Jose Mourinho to leave Roma at the end of the season for a €100m salary over two years in Saudi Arabia.
