After the sacking of Rudi Garcia earlier this year, Croatian tactician Dinko Jelicic stepped in as the club's interim boss until the end of the campaign. 

However, a permanent successor for Garcia was announced last week in the form of Luis Castro, who has left his job at Botafogo in Brazil for a new challenge in the big-spending Saudi Arabia. 

It was claimed that the Portuguese manager came highly recommended by captain Ronaldo, with the two believed to have a great mutual respect for one another despite having never worked together. 

Speaking in a recent interview, Castro seemed to make the claim that his countryman remains among the world's best and that he is looking forward to working with him in the Middle East. 

"It's always good to coach the best in the world. He's on that team, as a man who will go down in football history. So it will be a pleasure to work with him, as with everyone else who follows him."
