Coaching Ronaldo attracted me to Al Nassr — Postecoglou

Al Nassr manager Ange Postecoglou said that the opportunity to coach Cristiano Ronaldo was a major factor in his decision to join the Saudi club. Postecoglou, speaking on The Howie Games podcast, said that working with one of football's biggest names was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Postecoglou has previously managed or been coached by several notable football figures, including Ferenc Puskas, Tim Cahill, and Son Heung-min. He said that coaching Ronaldo would allow him to become "a small part of his story" and that Ronaldo's motivation to achieve 1,000 career goals was still evident.

According to the Gulf News, Ronaldo is closing in on 1,000 career goals, and Postecoglou said the striker's hunger shows no sign of fading.
