It is known that the source of the conflict between the two sides is said to stem from the Portuguese manager’s refusal to let the French striker be captain as he requested. Tensions came to a head when Nuno met with club leaders in person to present the matter.

To show his anger, the French striker has even been absent from a few training sessions recently. Benzema’s move is a vivid testament to the strained relationship like water and fire between the player and his mentor Nuno.

As for Al Ittihad’s management, they are in a dilemma as they are likely to be forced to choose between keeping Benzema and Nuno.
