Ange Postecoglou has been appointed as the new head coach of Al Nassr, where he will lead a squad that includes Cristiano Ronaldo. This marks Postecoglou's return to management following his dismissal from Nottingham Forest in October after just 39 days in charge. Al Nassr announced on social media that he has signed a two-season contract.

Postecoglou's Background and Previous Success

Last season, Al Nassr clinched the Saudi Pro League title under former coach Jorge Jesus, who had a one-year contract. Ronaldo played a pivotal role in the team's success since his arrival at the club in 2023. Postecoglou, who previously won the Europa League with Tottenham Hotspur in May 2025, was let go the following month. He also enjoyed a successful tenure at Celtic, where he secured a treble and five trophies over two seasons.

Future Prospects at Al Nassr

In addition to Ronaldo, Postecoglou will also manage notable players such as Sadio Mane, Kingsley Coman, and Joao Felix. The club expressed their support for Postecoglou and his staff, wishing them success in their new roles. The announcement highlighted the significance of Postecoglou's appointment, stating, "A new chapter. Mr Ange Postecoglou as coach of the first football team at Al-Nassr club."

As Al Nassr looks to build on their recent successes, the arrival of Postecoglou brings a wealth of experience and ambition to the team.
