Rudi Garcia succeeds Luciano Spalletti, while another Frenchman, Christophe Galtier, was rather expected. Garcia, 59, has spent most of his career in France, in Lille, Marseille and Lyon among others, and coached AS Roma in Italy (2013-2016), where he was fired from and replaced by… Luciano Spalletti.
Appointed in July 2022 by the Saudi club Al-Nassr, he was sacked in April from his post. According to several foreign media, the French would have been pushed out for his poor results and his bad relationship with his group, including the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo recruited at a high price in December 2022.
Spalletti, 64, formalized his departure from the Italian club at the end of the season at the end of May, explaining that he was ” fatigue “ and needed “stay a little behind” you football.
