After retiring from playing professional football in May 2021, Modric returned to his homeland to become the manager of Dinamo Zagreb. In August 2021, he was appointed as the head coach of Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, which is based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
One of the standout performances by Modric during his tenure at Al-Nassr was when he scored an incredible assist that led to the goal against Al-Hilal. The match took place in the third round of the AFC Champions League, and Al-Nassr were trailing 1-0 going into the final minutes.
Modric, who had just taken over as coach, decided to make a substitution in the 90th minute and brought on a substitute player named Ahmed Mousa Ali. The substitute player, who was known for his technical skills and ability to create chances, managed to get past several defenders and eventually found himself in front of the Al-Hilal goal.
With no defender between him and the goal, Mousa Ali calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net, giving Al-Nassr a 2-1 lead and securing their passage through to the next round of the tournament. It was a stunning display of skill and teamwork, and it marked a turning point in Al-Nassr's season.
Since taking over as coach, Modric has continued to inspire his team, leading them to a number of impressive results. His strategic vision and tactical acumen have helped the team perform well both domestically and internationally, and his influence continues to be felt within the club and beyond.
