It is a surprise appointment which sees the Australian return to the dugout after nine months out out following his sacking at Tottenham Hotspur after their Europa League win in May 2025 and a very brief spell with Nottingham Forest.

Al-Nassr, who are captained by Cristiano Ronaldo, had been on the lookout for a new boss after Jorge Jesus' departure at the end of a successful season in which he delivered title glory.

Postecoglou has been appointed on a two-year deal.

He previously enjoyed successful spells with the Australia national team, Celtic and Yokohama Marinos.
