Towards the end of Majed Abdullah's career, he still wasn't able to lift the ultimate prize in UAFA region; the Arab Club Champions Cup while the other top clubs in Saudi already succeeded in doing this. Despite that, AFC Al Nassr managed triumph in the continental tournaments. 37 Years old striker Majed Abdullah at the time managed to win two GCC Club Cups, one Asian Cup Winners' Cup and one Asian Super Cup. Majed Abdullah announced his retirement on 12 April 1998 following Al-Nassr's win in the 1998 Asian Cup Winner's Cup against Suwon Samsung Bluewings from South Korea in front of Шаблон:Gaps fans in Riyadh.

Slow Decline (2001–2007)

Шаблон:Unreferenced section After the Golden Trio's retirement, Al Nassr's fresh squad at the time made an impressive performance during their first run in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Club then went on to sign some internationally recognized players, such as Ivory Coast's Fadel Keïta and former Barcelona Attacking Midfielder Julio César Baldivieso.

Despite the expensive signings at the time, Al Nassr failed to keep their position in the league and soon got into some major setbacks. Things got worse as the next season went by. In 2006–07, the club only managed to avoid relegation on their last day of the season, which prompted honorary members including the legendary Majed Abdullah to intervene for the club. Their plan was to begin an effective long-term plan to restructure the new management.

Al Nassr went on to scout for the suitable club executioner replacement in which at the same time, many European player's who previously signed for the Chinese league were quitting due to outrageous policies for foreign players.
