Postecoglou, who was announced as Al Nassr's new coach in July, signed a two-year deal to take over the club, which features a star-studded lineup including Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Kingsley Coman, and João Félix. The Australian coach has led Al Nassr to an unbeaten start to the 2026-27 campaign, earning him the Saudi Pro League's manager of the month for August.
Postecoglou has expressed his excitement about the prospect of working with Ronaldo, describing him as a "good-looking rooster" who is still highly motivated and focused on achieving his goals. The coach has also highlighted the opportunity to be a part of Ronaldo's story, saying that it was a significant factor in his decision to join Al Nassr.
As Al Nassr seeks to defend their Saudi title and chase a first-ever Asian Champions League Elite crown, Postecoglou will be looking to make an impact with his team. The coach has already shown his ability to adapt to a new league, having previously managed in the A-League and the English Championship.
