Brazilian football club Botafogo announced, on Friday, that its Portuguese coach, Luis Castro, will leave his team in order to train Al-Nassr Saudi Arabia, led by his compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The club said in a statement: “Botafogo has been informed by coach Luis Castro of his decision to accept an offer from a club abroad, which puts an end to his activity as coach of the team.”
Castro, 61, said two weeks ago that he had received an attractive financial offer from the Saudi team, with a two-year contract. Al-Nasr Club has not yet officially announced the arrival of the Portuguese coach.
Castro had previously supervised, in particular, the training of his compatriot Porto and Shakhtar Danietsk of Ukraine, before his arrival in March 2022 to Botafogo, owned by the American businessman, John Textor, who also bought the French Olympique de Lyon this year.
The Al-Nasr team includes many prominent players in addition to Ronaldo, such as the Colombian goalkeeper, David Ospina, the Brazilian midfielder, Luiz Gustavo, and the Argentine striker, Goncalo Martinez.
