Postecoglou retains Jesus' staff
Australian Ange Postecoglou, the new head coach of Al-Nassr, has retained Portuguese fitness coach Ricardo da Silva and Spanish goalkeeper coach Toni Mingual in his staff for the new season, according to sources told Al-Riyadiya. The duo worked with Portuguese Jorge Jesus before he left his post at the end of last season, which saw the team win the Saudi Roshn League title. Postecoglou arrived in Riyadh early Sunday to begin his duties with the Yellow later that day. He is expected to start his mission with Al-Nassr hours after arrival, leading training at the Dar Al-Nassr training center as part of the first phase of preparations for the new season. Al-Nassr prepares for the new season in three phases: the first at Dar Al-Nassr until July 11, then the team moves to Abha for a second phase until the 22nd, followed by a third phase including an external camp in Lisbon, Portugal from July 25 to August 5. The Yellow team starts its preparations without its international players, who have been given extra rest due to their participation with their national teams in the 2026 World Cup currently underway in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The international players are: Nawaf Al-Aqidi, Abdul Ilah Al-Omari, Nawaf Boushal, Abdullah Al-Khaibari, Ayman Yahya, Abdullah Al-Hamdan, in addition to Senegalese Sadio Mane and Portuguese duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix.
