Postecoglou joins Cristiano Ronaldo in shock management call
Former Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Socceroos manager Ange Postecoglou has returned to management, taking the job as Head Coach of Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr FC.
Al-Nassr, famously headlined by Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo and former Liverpool star Sadio Mane, won the Saudi Pro League in 2025/26, with Postecoglou stepping into the role to replace the departing Jorge Jesus.
Having become the first Australian manager to win a European trophy with Tottenham in 2024/25, Postecoglou joined Nottingham Forest amid the 2025/26 Premier League season, a move that lasted just 39 days before being sacked without a win.
Amid ongoing rumours of a potential return to international management, Postecoglou has put the rumours to bed, signing a two-year deal with Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
