Postecoglou Appointed New Coach of Saudi Arabias AlNassr on TwoYear Deal

Ange Postecoglou ‌has been appointed the new head coach of Al-Nassr on a two-year deal, the Saudi Pro League champions said on Friday. 

"A new chapter. Mr. Ange Postecoglou appointed as head coach of the Al-Nassr first team. The contract spans two seasons," the club said ‌in a statement. 

"We ‌wish him and his staff ‌every ⁠success in their ⁠journey." 

Postecoglou previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, whom he guided to Europa League glory in 2025, but he was sacked two weeks later after they finished 17th in the Premier League standings. 

A reign at Nottingham Forest in ⁠the 2025-26 season ‌ended 39 days after his appointment when he went ‌winless in his opening eight games in ‌charge, which included six defeats. 

He takes over an Al-Nassr side led by Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who guided the club to the Saudi Pro League title on the final day of the season in May. 

A manager known for winning trophies in his second season, Postecoglou guided Celtic to two Scottish Premiership titles while he has also won league titles with Brisbane Roar and Yokohama F Marinos.
