Al-Nassr have issued a statement saying that the Riyadh club will name a new coach by the end of the week and that no agreement has been reached with a single candidate yet, Arabic sports daily Arriyadiyah has reported.
Al-Waleed Al-Muhaidib, director of the media center at Al-Nassr, on Tuesday posted a message on his Twitter account denying that that club has finalized its search.
“Regarding the large number of false reports about the first team coach from media professionals and official channels, Al-Nassr is keen to sign a contract with the most appropriate choice,” Al-Muhaidib wrote.
He added that the club is still in negations with some coaches, while other candidates have show a strong desire to take over the role.
Last week, Al-Nassr dismissed Menezes after a 3-1 loss to Al-Ittihad in the fifth round of the Saudi Professional League left the club in sixth place in the table with nine points.
