https://dailypost.ng/2025/07/20/no-player-should-be-given-absolute-power-al-sheikh-slams-al-nassr-over-ronaldo/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.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a dominant personality due to his achievements and the contributions to this field. His influence speaks louder. Because his name is helping the league to make it even more popular in the world. He is almost the one who is highly paid in the league. But the team Al-Nassr needs more authentic signings for the sake of good results. As every club of the Saudi pro league is financially stabled. There are some people who do not seem happy over the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo. No doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is an honest and positive person but still has thoughts that he should use his authority while keeping himself in the concerned limit. So, things will happen on the plans not due to the personality influence of a specific player.
