“Pioli is Nassrawi,” Al Nassr said a statement on social media platform X.
“We welcome Stefano Pioli as our new coach.”
The 58-year-old was AC Milan boss from October 2019 to May 2024, and oversaw the club’s Serie A title-winning campaign in 2022.
Prior to his near five-year stint at the Rossoneri, Pioli coached Italian sides including Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Lazio and Bologna.
He started his managerial career in 2003 with Salernitana and had worked exclusively in his native Italy up until his appointment by Al Nassr.
Al Nassr, who finished second in the last Saudi Pro League season, have drawn twice in three matches at the start of the new campaign and on Monday drew 1-1 with Iraq’s Al Shorta in their AFC Champions League Elite™ 2024/25 opener.
