LONDON: Ange Postecoglou announced his arrival in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday night in one of the most dramatic games you will see anywhere in 2026. When the Australian substituted Cristiano Ronaldo at halftime with Al-Nassr two goals and one man down to Al-Ettifaq, it was not just the Portuguese megastar who was shaking his head. Millions of fans around the world were doing the same and the instant online reaction was not positive toward the former Tottenham Hotspur boss.

Cristiano Ronaldo's relationship with new Al Nassr boss Ange Postecoglou already appears to be under scrutiny just three matches into the season.
