Al Majed steps down after title triumph: ‘I return to the yellow stands’

Al‑Nassr will undergo leadership change ahead of next season, with president Abdullah Al Majed confirming he will leave his post once his term expires. His decision follows a historic Roshn Saudi League title that ended a seven‑year drought, marking the defining achievement of his tenure. Al Majed cited professional commitments and the natural conclusion of his mandate as reasons for stepping aside, mirroring Khalid Al Ghamdi’s recent departure from Al‑Ahli to pursue federation leadership.

Addressing supporters on X, Al Majed thanked fans, players, staff and board members for their support, declaring he will return to the stands “where I have always belonged” and pledging full backing to his successor.

His exit comes amid structural changes across Saudi football. Reports suggest the role of club president within non‑profit associations could soon be abolished as PIF‑backed teams prepare for a streamlined management model. The transition marks another shift in the evolving landscape of Saudi football governance.
