Rudi Garcia has been in charge of Saudi club Al-Nassr since July 2012. He is the fifth coach to take charge of the club, after Jean Fernandez, Henri Michel and Patrice Carteron.

The club says he has been pushed out for his poor results and poor relationship with players. The team is currently second in the Saudi Pro League, three points behind the leaders Al-Ittihad, after a 2-2 draw with Al-Gharafa last weekend.
