Ange Postecoglou ‌has been appointed the new head coach of Al-Nassr on a two-year deal, the Saudi Pro League champions said on Friday.

"A new chapter. Mr. Ange Postecoglou appointed as head coach of the Al-Nassr first team. The contract spans two seasons," the club said ‌in a statement.

"We ‌wish him and his staff ‌every ⁠success in their ⁠journey."

Postecoglou previously managed Tottenham Hotspur, whom he guided to Europa League glory in 2025, but he was sacked two weeks later after they finished 17th in the Premier League standings.

A reign at Nottingham Forest in ⁠the 2025-26 season ‌ended 39 days after his appointment when he went ‌winless in his opening eight games in ‌charge, which included six defeats.

He takes over an Al-Nassr side led by Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who guided the club to the Saudi Pro League title on the final day of the season in May.

A manager known for winning trophies in his second season, Postecoglou guided Celtic to two Scottish Premiership titles while he has also won league titles with Brisbane Roar and Yokohama F Marinos.

Germany defender Nathaniel Brown has joined Bayern Munich from Bundesliga rivals Eintracht Frankfurt, the German champions said on Friday.

"Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. It means so much to me to have the chance to play for this club and it fills me with pride," Brown said in a statement.

Brown, 23, signed a five-year deal with the Bundesliga champions through to 2031, Reuters reported.

He spent two full seasons at Eintracht Frankfurt, having made the step up from Bundesliga 2 outfit Nuremberg in summer 2024.

The German-American made 75 competitive appearances for Frankfurt, registering seven goals and 13 assists.

He has won eight senior Germany caps since debuting under Julian Nagelsmann in October 2025, scoring his first international goal in the 7-1 win over Curacao.

Riyad Mahrez, a five-time Premier League winner, announced his retirement from international football following Algeria’s World Cup exit, a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in the round of 32 on Thursday.

"There were good times and difficult times as well, of course. That’s part of a career," he said afterward. “But representing Algeria has been a dream of mine ever since I was young, to play for my country. It’s been an immense honor and a great source of pride.”

He added: “It is the new generation’s turn to play.”

As he walked off the field following the match, Mahrez gave a thumbs-up, then patted his heart and waved to the fans.

Mahrez, who plays for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, has had an illustrious career at the club and international levels.

The 35-year-old forward retires with the second-most appearances for Algeria (119) and the second-most goals (40). Mahrez was a part of the Algerian team that won the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

At the domestic level, Mahrez won a Premier League title with Leicester City and four with Manchester City, as well as a Champions League title with Manchester City.
