Luis Castro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s coach at Al-Nassr.
Al-Nassr failed to win the title last season (finishing second to Al-Ittihad) and this prompted a change in management, with Rudy Garcia being sacked at the start of the summer. Dinko Yelicich performed a temporary role.
Castro, 61, said two weeks ago that he had received an attractive offer from the Saudi team for a two-year contract.
“Botafogo has been informed by coach Luis Castro of his decision to accept an offer from a club abroad, ending his tenure as coach of the team” – Botafogo in the application.
Castro previously coached Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, and in March 2022 moved to Botafogo, a club owned by American businessman John Textor, who also bought Lyon Olympique this year, writes News.ro.
Botafogo are currently top of the Brazilian league, seven points ahead of Gremio.
Luis Castro is no longer the coach of Botafogo.
