Cristiano Ronaldo's new coach Rudi Garcia has been branded the 'worst character' in football.
Garcia has been in charge of Al Nassr since 2022 and will manage Ronaldo for the first time in his managerial career.
Before coaching the Saudi Arabian side, the Frenchman had been at Lyon, where he crossed paths with Juninho Pernambucano.

But they clashed during their time in France, with the legendary Brazilian pulling no punches in his assessment of Garcia.
He called the 58-year-old the 'worst character' during his footballing career and joked he'll 'serve Ronaldo's breakfast' to suck up to the superstar forward.
"My experience with Rudi Garcia was terrible," he told Portuguese outlet MaisFutebol via Goal.
"He's the worst character I've known in all my footballing career.

"He won't dare to do anything obstructive.
"On the contrary he will even serve Cristiano his breakfast if necessary."
Juninho continued by stating that Garcia 'doesn't care about the team's success' and wants to be the 'centre of attention' in a damning evaluation of the veteran boss.

"He will try to be his friend and will do everything possible for that. It will be his dream to be Cristiano Ronaldo's friend," he added.
"Rudi Garcia doesn't care about the team's success or dressing room harmony.
"What matters to him is that he's the centre of attention, whatever the crisis.
"But like all cold human beings, he recognises those that are better than him and tries to take advantage of it.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest in the history of football, a legend, and Rudi knows that."
