The Australian takes charge after a rift between Nuno Espirito Santo and owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Overview

  • Forest confirmed Nuno’s dismissal overnight and announced Postecoglou as head coach on Tuesday.
  • Multiple outlets reported the decision followed a breakdown in Nuno’s relationship with Marinakis and tensions involving new global head of football Edu Gaspar.
  • Postecoglou returns three months after being sacked by Tottenham days after winning the Europa League following a 17th-place league finish.
  • His deal is reported to run until 2027, he was filmed arriving at Forest’s training ground, and his first match is scheduled at Arsenal on Saturday.
  • With the transfer window shut until January, he inherits a squad set for Premier League duties and a Europa League campaign, as Marinakis lauded his trophy-winning record.
