Al‑Nassr have officially appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach, confirming the Australian’s arrival on a two‑season contract that runs until 2028. The club moved swiftly following Jorge Jesus’ departure at the end of last season, despite the Portuguese manager having guided Al‑Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title. The announcement was made on Friday through the club’s channels on X, with Al‑Nassr welcoming Postecoglou and wishing success to him and his staff.
The 60‑year‑old returns to the touchline after a nine‑month break, his last job being a short spell at Nottingham Forest that ended after just 40 days. Postecoglou brings extensive international experience, having previously coached Australia, Yokohama F. Marinos, Celtic and Tottenham Hotspur between 2023 and 2025. Before settling on him, Al‑Nassr reportedly evaluated several candidates, including Portugal manager Roberto Martínez, but ultimately chose Postecoglou to lead their next phase.
