Al-Nassr manager Rudi Garcia's future is reportedly hanging in the balance after team captain and star signing Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to the Saudi club's bosses over his dissatisfaction with their performance.
The club currently lags three points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad, following a draw on Sunday with Al-Feiha.
Ronaldo was visibly frustrated after the 0-0 tie and argued with Al-Feiha player Ali Al-Zaqaan.
According to reports, Ronaldo's frustrations with his side have boiled over into private discussions with the team's top brass, who are preparing to sack team boss Garcia.
Saudi outlets have reported on Ronaldo's dissatisfaction, with some foreign outlets, including the UK's Mirror and Express newspapers, reporting that former Lyon boss Garcia has already received the boot.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in December after a public fallout with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
The Portuguese talisman has scored 11 goals in 10 games for the Saudi side.
