Nottingham Forest Appoint Ange Postecoglou After Sacking Nuno Espirito Santo

The change follows a breakdown in Nuno Espirito Santo’s relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Overview

  • Forest confirmed Postecoglou’s arrival on Tuesday, with his first match scheduled away to Arsenal on Saturday.
  • Marinakis praised Postecoglou’s record of winning trophies and said the club is targeting consistent contention for silverware.
  • A poor start capped by a 3-0 home defeat to West Ham and friction involving new global head of football Edu Gaspar preceded Nuno’s exit.
  • Nuno had signed a new contract in June after guiding Forest to seventh and Europa League qualification, highlighting the abrupt timing.
  • Postecoglou returns three months after winning the Europa League with Tottenham before being dismissed, and he inherits a squad that cannot be reshaped until January due to the closed transfer window.
