Ange Postecoglou takes the helm at Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, a move that places him in charge of global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. This appointment marks Postecoglou's return to club management after a brief, unsuccessful stint with Nottingham Forest, where he lasted just 39 days. The Saudi club confirmed the deal, which reportedly spans two seasons, via social media.

Al Nassr secured the Saudi Pro League title last season, their first since Ronaldo's high-profile arrival in 2023. While current coach Jorge Jesus led them to glory, his contract was only for one year. Postecoglou arrives with a decorated resume, including a treble at Celtic and a Europa League win with Spurs before his departure.

This move sees Postecoglou managing a squad featuring other notable stars like Sadio Mane and Joao Felix alongside Ronaldo. His previous experience, particularly his success in Scotland, positions him to lead Al Nassr's continued dominance in the region. The club expressed confidence in Postecoglou and his staff for their upcoming tenure.
