Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr have appointed former AS Roma director Guido Fienga as their CEO, the club announced on Wednesday.
Al-Nassr have already had a sensational transfer window bringing in Seko Fofana, Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic, Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, and Otavio from Porto for approximately £160 million.
Despite suffering two defeats in their opening games of the Saudi Pro League campaign, Al-Nassr bounced back and hit top gear to go on a sensational winning run.
The Riyadh giants have scored 32 goals in their last eight games across all competitions with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the goalscoring charts.
With Al-Nassr in the ascendency, the club are still looking to make improvements internally and they have done so by bringing in Guido Fienga to be their CEO.
Fienga has been a part of AS Roma since 2013 and became their chief executive in 2019 before leaving the Giallorossi two years ago.
“Al-Nassr have decided to appoint Guido Fienga as chief executive officer to contribute to the club’s growth in the upcoming years and meet the expectations set by fans,” the club said in an official statement.
His arrival is expected to boost the club’s exposure as part of the country’s plan to improve the growth of the Saudi Pro League by 2030.
“I am thrilled to be part of this project,” Fienga said via Al-Nassr’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Looking forward to supporting the club from a managerial perspective and very excited to move to Riyadh and work with my new family at Al-Nassr.”
