Overview
- Al‑Nassr confirmed on Friday that Postecoglou has signed a two‑year contract to become the club’s head coach.
- Postecoglou has landed in Riyadh to begin work and will take charge of a squad led by Cristiano Ronaldo and several other high‑profile signings.
- He replaces Jorge Jesus, who left after guiding Al‑Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title, and will oversee preparations for a King Cup Champions Clash and the domestic season starting in mid‑August.
- The appointment follows a turbulent period in England for Postecoglou, who won the Europa League with Tottenham in 2025 but was sacked that summer and endured a 39‑day, winless spell at Nottingham Forest later that year.
- The hire underscores the Saudi Pro League’s push to attract established European coaches and gives Postecoglou a well‑resourced platform to restore his reputation while facing heightened expectations and turnover in the league.
