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.

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.
