Ange Postecoglou Becomes Al Nassr Coach
JAKARTA - Ange Postecoglou has officially been announced as the new coach of Saudi Arabian League club Al Nassr with a two-season contract or until the end of 2027/2028.
Reported from the official upload of the X Al Nassr account, Postecoglou will replace the position left by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus.
Postecoglou's arrival is certainly hoped to continue Jesus' success in ending Al Nassr's seven-year wait to return to the league title.
In addition, the Australian coach is expected to make Al Nassr talk a lot in the Asian club competition.
Before officially becoming the coach of Al Nassr, Postecoglou had experience as a coach in the Asian region with Australian clubs Brisbane Roar and Melbourne FC, then Japanese club Yokohama Marinos.
The 60-year-old coach also tasted success when he managed Scottish League club Celtic with two league titles in the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons.
Next, he managed the English League club Tottenham Hotspur and was able to bring The Lilywhites to win the European title after a long time by winning the 2024/2025 Europa League.
In addition, he also managed to lead the Australian National Team to the 2015 Asian Cup.
