Ange Postecoglou, who won the Scottish Premiership with Celtic and later managed Tottenham Hotspur, has been named the new head coach of Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. The appointment means he will now manage Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner who has been Al-Nassr's marquee signing.
