Ange Postecoglou has joined Al Nassr on a two-year deal, linking up with star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi League champions announced
The former Tottenham and Australia coach, 60, has been out of work since being sacked by Nottingham Forest in October after just 39 days and eight games in charge.
A statement from the club read: “A new chapter. Mr Ange Postecoglou as coach of the first football team at Al-Nassr club. And that with a contract extending for two seasons.
“Our best wishes for success to him and his staff in their journey with the global club, God willing.”
The Greece-born Australian began his coaching career in Melbourne, rising to take charge of the Socceroos in 2013, and taking them to the 2014 World Cup.
He left in 2017 and, after a stint in Japan, spent two years at Celtic before moving into the Premier League with Tottenham in 2023.
Postecoglou led Spurs to a Europa League triumph in 2025, their first silverware for 17 years, but a poor league campaign saw him dismissed.
His brief Forest chapter was little short of a disaster.
At Al Nassr, he will join up with experienced Portugal forward Ronaldo, 41, who joined the Saudi side in 2023.
