Al Nasr fills its sporting director with a superstar.
Al Nasr is set to appoint former Spain national team coach Fernando Iero as its sporting director, The Athletic reported on Aug. 8 (ET). Iero is currently the sporting director of Guadalajara in Mexico. Iero will move to Al Nasr to take charge of the transfer market this summer.
He is a self-explanatory Spanish and Real Madrid legend. Iero made his debut for Valladolid before moving to Real Madrid in 1989, where he remained an integral part of the team for 14 years. Playing as a defensive midfielder and center back, 토토사이트 Iero was a special player, combining defensive and technical skills with exceptional leadership. With Real Madrid, he won five league titles, three European Champions Leagues, and one Copa del Rey. He also represented Spain with distinction. Iero played 89 caps and scored 29 goals despite being a defender.
He also has ties to the Middle East. After leaving Real Madrid, he played for Al Rayyan in Qatar for two seasons. Iero then moved to Bolton in England, where he eventually retired in 2005.
After retiring, Iero served as the sporting director of the Spanish Football Federation from 2007 to 2011.
In 2011, he took over as Malaga’s director of football. During this time, Malaga qualified for the European Champions League for the first time, and Iero was well received.
He also turned to coaching. In 2014, he became the head coach of Real Madrid, and in 2016, he took over at Real Oviedo in the Segunda Liga. However, he failed to meet expectations, and in 2017, he returned to his role as sporting director of the Spanish Football Federation. Following the sudden dismissal of Julen Lopetegui, Iero took charge of the team at the World Cup in Russia. After failing to reach the round of 16, he was relieved of his duties and moved to Mexico.
Al Nasr became the center of the Saudi breakthrough with the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. He also brought in Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, and others. 파워볼실시간 But with Al Nasr in second place behind Al Hilal, the club is looking to make another investment to rebound next season. The signing of Iero is a sign of that.
