Karim Benzema set to leave Al Ittihad after fall out with his manager Nuno Espirito Santo

Nuno Esprito Santo told the Al-Ittihad management that Karim Benzema does not match his preferred tactical approach.

There is reportedly friction between the two since the former Wolves coach wasn't interested on signing Benzema in the first place.

If you remember, this summer, Karim Benzema finalized his transfer from Real Madrid to Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad.

Additionally, Benzema's plea for the captain's reins was denied by the Portuguese coach.

As a result, the Frenchman is "not comfortable" working in the Saudi club's present setting, which might pave the way for a surprising move.

Karim Benzema could be leaving the squad soon after joining the Saudi Arabia Pro League just a few months ago.
