Cristiano Ronaldo to be coached by Ange Postecoglou after Australian appointed by Al Nassr

Ange Postecoglou has been named as the new Al Nassr boss in the Saudi Pro League, where he will coach Cristiano Ronaldo. 

This will be Postecoglou's first return to management since being sacked by Nottingham Forest in October - after just 39 days in charge. The Saudi club have posted on social media to say he has signed a two-season deal.

Al Nassr won the Saudi Pro League last season - the first since Ronaldo's high-profile move to the club in 2023.

Head coach Jorge Jesus led the team to the title but had only been on a one-year contract. Current Portugal boss Roberto Martinez, who is currently coaching Ronaldo at the World Cup, had been linked with the role.

Postecoglou had won the Europa League with Spurs in May 2025 before being sacked the following month. He also previously won a treble at Celtic, during a two-season stint which delivered five trophies.

Postecoglou had been one of the leading contenders to replace Steve Clarke as head coach of Scotland.

"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," the club announced on X.

"Our best wishes for success to him and his staff in their journey with the global club, God willing."

Although Ronaldo is Postecoglou's highest-profile player he will also be coaching the likes of Sadio Mane, Kingsley Coman and Joao Felix.
