Ronaldo is known from the early days of his career to have had some level of influence on his clubs and national team. He sometimes influences the players and coaches that the club management hires. This is also the case in Al Nassr. It is believed that he was behind the sacking of coach Stefano Pioli and the replacement with Jorge Jesus. He also used his reputation to influence the sacking of the club's CEO Majed Jamaan Al-Sorour and he also made sure the club replaced him with his close friend Jose Semedo.

Former Saudi Arabian Football Federation Spokesman, Mohammed Al-Sheikh, has frowned at this excess power given to the Portuguese captain. Al-Sheikh appreciates Ronaldo's positive contributions to the SPL but he thinks that his powers should have limits.
Before he continues with complaining about the too much power given Ronaldo,  he should look back and tell us what the SPL was like few years back without Ronaldo,  I am not saying he should be the sole decider of how things happens in that team but at same time his influence on the team and the league as a whole is one that cannot be over looked and deserving of certain preferences because he is not just skilled and talented but experienced and influential which was gotten from hard work and most times he has influenced decisions,  it has always turned out in the favour of the team so I do not think it is so much because he has not obviously abused the power recently.
