RIYADH, June 17: Saudi Club Al-Nassr has issued a sharply worded statement announcing the immediate termination of CEO Majed Al-Jamaan’s contract, citing confirmed contractual violations during his tenure.

In a post on its official Twitter account, the club revealed that the decision was made unanimously after internal and external reports flagged questionable practices. Al-Jamaan’s powers were frozen as of May 8, pending investigation, and he was formally notified of the suspension terms, including a confidentiality agreement he signed.

However, the situation escalated when Al-Jamaan reportedly breached the agreement by publishing a tweet during the investigation process, which the club claims harmed its reputation on social media.

Shortly after the club’s announcement, Al-Jamaan responded via Twitter, describing the decision as "unprofessional, inappropriate, and unacceptable." He added that legal action will follow, stating, “Therefore, a litigation process will begin between me and the management that runs our club, and whoever has a right will get it.”

The incident marks a rare public fallout between a top executive and a leading Saudi football club, raising questions about internal governance and the growing role of social media in sports administration.
