After the departure of coach Rudi Garcia from Al Nassr, the Arabian press stated that the Turkish coach Engin Fırat and the Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic might be the team’s next leader. The claims also included the possibility that the new coach of the Saudi Arabian National Team might be chosen from those two names, and that if they are to be the new leaders, a hefty amount of transfer fees will be paid to terminate their contracts with their current teams.
