Cristiano Ronaldo’s team announced on social media that Al Nassr and his staff no longer lead the first team.
Al Nassr, who finished third in the Saudi Pro League, thanked Mr. Pioli and his staff for their hard work last season.

England spinner Charlie Dean will captain London Spirit in this year’s Hundred in place of Heather Knight, who is recovering from a hamstring injury.
Former England skipper Knight led Spirit to their first title last year but has been ruled out for the summer after sustaining the injury in the third T20 against West Indies in May.
Dean, 24, previously led Spirit in 2022 when Knight was absent with a hip problem and they finished seventh in the table.
Knight will stay with the team in a coaching and mentoring role throughout the tournament and has been replaced in the side by Surrey batter Kira Chathli, who has previously represented Oval Invincibles.
“We have a great squad and I know the expectation will be high after winning the competition last year”, said Dean, who has been with Spirit since the first year of the tournament in 2021.
“I am gutted Heather won’t be playing with us this year, but it’s brilliant that she’ll still be around to help us out. Tapping into her experience and knowledge will be invaluable”.
A glimpse into England’s future?
Analysis by BBC Sport cricket journalist Ffion Wynne
England’s Ashes thrashing at the beginning of this year led to criticism surrounding most aspects of their game, but also the management behind the scenes – and this included their lack of succession planning for a future captain.
Knight had fulfilled the role so consistently for nine years that as speculation about her future started to swirl, many were scratching their heads as to who could be next.
In the end, it was Nat Sciver-Brunt, the obvious candidate as Knight’s vice-captain and most experienced player, but there were concerns around her workload as an all-rounder and the pressure she is already under as England’s superstar.
Dean was another name that was thrown into the conversation, and though she admitted it was probably a little bit too soon for her, this is an indication that she is viewed as a future leader.
Exposing their younger players to leadership is something that Australia do brilliantly and this suggests England are taking note.

In Gaza over the past 24 hours, at least 60 Palestinians have died trying to get aid. Since US- and Israeli-backed GHF took control of distribution, which UN officials described as a “death trap,” more than 500 people have died.
Sir Gareth Southgate, the ex-england manager, claims he enjoys playing for the Three Lions and carrying the “weight” of the job.
After his country lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, the 54-year-old stepped down as England manager last summer.
During his seven-and-a-half years in charge, Southgate won two European Championship titles, both of which came in runners-up.
England’s best performance at a major tournament since 1990 was the team’s fourth-placed finish at the 2018 World Cup.
The former Middlesbrough manager, who was awarded a knighthood on Wednesday for his contributions to English football, claims he misses being in charge of the team.
Watching the team is a little strange, but I’m not missing it, Southgate said.
After Sir Walter Winterbottom, Sir Alf Ramsey, and Sir Bobby Robson, Southgate became the fourth England manager in history to receive the knighthood.
When asked if he had missed some of the tasks, Southgate said it was relief that he had lost the desire to serve a nation.
“I think it’s hard to describe because until that weight has gone, you know, every hour of my day was thinking about how to improve England, what’s happening with the players, and how to do things differently,” he continued.
You’re constantly thinking about how to do your job as well as you can, in my opinion, any leader of large organizations.”
Following Lee Carsley’s interim tenure as manager, Thomas Tuchel was appointed.
At the helm, the German has won three of his World Cup qualifiers, but England were booed off after a friendly loss to Senegal at City Ground earlier this month.
After taking over the starting role, Tuchel claimed Southgate’s side lacked a clear identity and “were more afraid to drop out” of Euro 2024 than having the fervor and determination to win it.
According to Southgate, “I don’t think it’s important how I handled it (Tuchel’s criticism) or what I think” is.
“I believe that allowing the manager and the team the space to operate is what’s really important.” That is the right course of action, in my opinion.
Emily Eavis has admitted that she doesn’t think Neil Young’s headline set will be televised at all on the BBC – as some fans fear a repeat of sound problems that dogged the rocker’s shows this week

Rocker Neil Young ’s headline Glastonbury performance has taken another twist – with festival organiser Emily Eavis now admitting his set might not be televised at all.
The Mirror revealed on Tuesday how the Heart of Gold singer, 79, was still wrangling with the BBC about what they could show amid fears it could be heavily cut.
It came after we told how a BBC schedule of live sets released to the public omits Young, while mentioning headliners such as Charli xcx and Doechii who play other stages on Saturday.
Now Eavis has said she doubts the set will be televised at all.
BBC reporter Colin Paterson said: “I asked Emily Eavis what was going on and she says she does not believe that Neil Young’s set will be broadcast by the BBC.
” There’s been all kinds of backstage wrangling and negotiations, but as things currently stand, Neil Young’s headline set on Saturday night will not be broadcast by the BBC. Instead, they’ll be showing Charlie XCX. “

And in another development, fans are now fearful after his last two European shows in Bergen, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, were hit with sound problems.
Fans complained about a poor vocal mix. Some were also unhappy that on at least one of those shows, Neil didn’t have any large screens for fans to see the action from the back of the crowd.
It’s not known whether that will be the case at Glastonbury or not.
BBC bosses are said to be treading carefully after the star pulled out of the festival earlier this year citing concerns about the BBC’s “corporate control”.
He said in January:” We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being. “

A BBC spokeswoman said: “We aim to bring audiences as many performances as possible from the Pyramid Stage, and our schedules and plans continue to be finalised, right up to and during the festival.” Young has voices his concerns made principled stands recently. He blocked his music from Spotify for two years, saying a podcaster on the platform had spread vaccine misinformation.
Only five songs were broadcast during Young’s 2009 performance at Glastonbury. Neil Young’s career was conducted on his own terms, according to Mark Cooper, the then executive producer of the BBC’s Glastonbury coverage.
