Their first meeting comes at an unusual moment, however, with Ronaldo still enjoying an extended break after his international commitments while Postecoglou begins shaping his plans for the new campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo and Ange Postecoglou have crossed paths at Al-Nassr, giving the Saudi Pro League club a glimpse of what could become one of the most fascinating manager-player partnerships in world soccer. Their first meeting comes at an unusual moment, however, with Ronaldo still enjoying an extended break after his international commitments while Postecoglou begins shaping his plans for the new campaign. The Australian manager arrived in Saudi Arabia with plenty to prove after taking charge of Al-Nassr on a two-year contract. Yet one of the biggest attractions of the job is obvious: the opportunity to coach one of soccer’s greatest-ever goalscorers and one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet. Postecoglou‘s appointment represents a major change for Al-Nassr after the departure of Jorge Jesus. The former Celtic manager has left European soccer behind for a new challenge in the Middle East, where expectations will immediately be high given the club’s ambitions and the presence of Ronaldo. On the other hand, the 41-year-old Portuguese superstar remains the centerpiece of Al-Nassr’s project. His reputation, goalscoring record and experience at the highest level mean that any manager taking charge of the club will inevitably face questions about how he plans to maximize Ronaldo’s contribution. View this post on Instagram Postecoglou has already made it clear that Ronaldo will have a central role in his plans. The manager’s first public assessment of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner also offered an early indication of how highly he values the veteran forward. Ronaldo’s delayed return does not concern Postecoglou Ronaldo has been given additional time away from the squad after representing Portugal at the 2026 World Cup. Rather than rushing him back into training, Postecoglou believes the extended break is important after another demanding season for a player who has spent much of his career operating at an extraordinary physical and competitive level. The pair met at Al-Nassr’s pre-season base in Portugal, where Ronaldo attended the club’s friendly against Almeria. It was the first public meeting between the new manager and his biggest star since Postecoglou took charge, even though Ronaldo had yet to fully rejoin the group. القائـد كريستيانو رونالدو يلتقي بنجوم الفريق قبل مواجهة #النصر_الميريا 🤩 pic.twitter.com/szIUbd8ski— نادي النصر السعودي (@AlNassrFC) August 4, 2026 That delay appears to have caused no concern for the Australian. Instead, Postecoglou stressed that Ronaldo’s professionalism and desire to return will ensure he is ready when the new campaign begins. Postecoglou reveals what Ronaldo told him Speaking about his first conversation with Ronaldo, Postecoglou described the Portuguese forward as a hugely important player and admitted that working with him is an honor. “Cristiano Ronaldo is a very important player, and it is certainly an honour for me to share a dressing room with him and the other players feel the same way,” Postecoglou said, via Glasgow Times. The manager also revealed that Ronaldo had personally reassured him about his condition and readiness for the upcoming campaign: “I had a conversation with Cristiano, and he confirmed to me his readiness for the new season”. 🚨 ANGE POSTECOGLOU:"Cristiano is always important.It's an honor to share the dressing room with him.I'm sure the players feel the same way.Through my conversation with Cristiano, he will be ready.He is a professional, and I know he is eager to return and join the… pic.twitter.com/JnIUtcfKaS— The CR7 Timeline.

How Scotland, and other parts of the world, became entranced by the fairytale only for the reality of sport's essential brutality to hit them square between the eyes at Celtic Park on denouement day. If there is a non-Glasgow team capable of roughing up the big two as Heart of Midlothian did repeatedly last season then we're in for a wild ride. If this league campaign goes to the final three minutes on the final day, if the domestic football story to beat all domestic football stories is in touching distance as the campaign swings for home next spring then we'll be blessed.
The 44-year-old replaced Arne Slot as head coach this summer, after stepping down as Bournemouth manager following a three-year stay. Iraola's arrival was seen by Liverpool as a means of trying to deliver an attacking brand of football. "It is a very special club," said Iraola.
Atlanta United are working on Emmanuel Latte Lath's departure, with reports signaling Darwin Nuñez or Breel Embolo as his potential departure. Emmanuel Latte Lath‘s stint at Atlanta United has proven to be deeply disappointing for a player who, at the time of his signing, set a record as the most expensive transfer in MLS history. Now, with the striker facing an imminent exit, his departure could clear the path for reported target Darwin Nuñez or Breel Embolo to join the Five Stripes. Back in February 2025, Atlanta United shelled out a $22 million transfer fee to acquire Latte Lath from English Championship side Middlesbrough, briefly making him the most expensive arrival in league history. However, his on-field production lagged far behind his price tag, prompting club executives to actively seek a move for the forward. Ahead of Wednesday’s match against Charlotte FC, where Latte Lath was omitted from the matchday squad, Atlanta United’s sporting director addressed the forward’s status on 92.9 The Game: “We’re having a few conversations around him, and so out of precaution we’ve kept him out of this game. That’s about the extent of what I’m going to say about it at the moment.“ If a transfer materializes, Latte Lath will leave the Georgia club less than two years after his arrival. In 48 appearances across all competitions, the Ivory Coast international managed just 11 goals and four assists while featuring in the worst campaign in franchise history in 2025, when Atlanta finished 29th in the overall MLS standings with just 28 points. Emmanuel Latte Lath #9 of Atlanta United attempts a shot. Darwin Nuñez or Breel Embolo to fill the Designated Player slot According to The Athletic‘s Tom Bogert and Paul Tenorio, Atlanta United is aggressively pursuing Uruguay international Darwin Nuñez. Swiss international Breel Embolo has also emerged as a primary target to bolster manager Gerardo “Tata” Martino’s front line, though the club is expected to prioritize just one of the two options. Nuñez joined Saudi side Al Hilal from Liverpool for €53 million in 2025, but struggled to hold down a consistent starting role in Riyadh. Following Karim Benzema’s arrival in February, and with Saudi Pro League rules capping clubs at eight foreign players, head coach Simone Inzaghi left the Uruguayan striker out of his league roster. Embolo presents a second marquee option following a strong showing at the World Cup. The Swiss international made a €13 million move to Stade Rennais in 2025, making him a significantly more cost-effective alternative for Atlanta United compared to a full permanent transfer for Nuñez. Atlanta United currently occupies all three of its Designated Player (DP) slots with Miguel Almiron, Aleksei Miranchuk, and Latte Lath. Once the Ivorian’s departure is finalized, a coveted DP slot will open up, giving the club the flexibility to complete a deal for Nuñez, Embolo, or another top-tier attacking target.
With Duran heading back to European soccer, speculation has intensified over who could partner Ronaldo next as the club prepares for the new campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo is still waiting to see who will arrive to strengthen Al-Nassr after Jhon Duran completed a season-long loan move to Benfica, but the Saudi club faces an obstacle that has slowed its plans. With Duran heading back to European soccer, speculation has intensified over who could partner Ronaldo next as the club prepares for the new campaign. The Colombia national team striker leaves after a turbulent spell in Saudi Arabia that included multiple loan moves before his latest switch to Portugal. While Al-Nassr wants to reshape its squad under Ange Postecoglou, developments behind the scenes have complicated the club’s search for reinforcements. Benfica officially signed the 22-year-old on a season-long loan, with the agreement including a reported $34 million purchase option if certain conditions are met. The move gives Duran another opportunity to establish himself in European soccer after brief spells with Fenerbahçe and Zenit St. Petersburg. Duran expressed his excitement during his presentation in Lisbon. “It is a dream to be here. Benfica is the biggest club in Portugal. I want to help the team, score goals, win titles and repay the confidence the club has shown in me,” he said. 🎙️ As primeiras palavras de Jhon Durán de vermelho e branco! pic.twitter.com/wwriuy9oiq— SL Benfica (@SLBenfica) July 20, 2026 The transfer marks the seventh club of the player’s professional career, a remarkable journey for a player who is still only 22. Since making his senior debut with Envigado in 2019, he has represented clubs in Colombia, the United States, England, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Russia and now Portugal. The issue delaying Al-Nassr’s transfer plans As Duran departs, Al-Nassr has yet to announce a direct replacement, and reports suggest there is a significant reason behind the inactivity. According to multiple reports, including Saudi outlet Al-Riyadiyah, Al-Nassr is having a serious cash flow problem since club income is less than outstanding obligations. The situation has affected transfer planning, delayed recruitment, and reportedly forced the club to slow negotiations despite identifying several transfer targets. The financial situation has also reportedly contributed to restrictions on transfer spending, leaving the club unable to complete deals until budgets receive executive approval. Even relatively modest transfers have reportedly stalled during the current window. Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr lifts the Saudi Pro League Trophy Ronaldo waits for attacking reinforcements With Duran now in Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo remains the focal point of Al-Nassr’s attack heading into the 2026-27 season. The Portuguese captain is expected to lead the frontline once again while the club continues searching for additional attacking quality. Several high-profile names have been linked with Al-Nassr over recent months. Reports have mentioned Premier League stars, such as Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes, and Gabriel Martinelli, although none of those moves has progressed into a completed transfer. Some reports also suggest the club could prioritize signing another winger rather than replacing Duran with a traditional center-forward. That strategy would still leave Ronaldo as the primary goalscoring reference in the squad.
