Overview

• Forest confirmed Nuno Espirito Santo's dismissal citing “recent circumstances” after a 0–3 home defeat to West Ham left the team 10th early in the campaign.
• Hours later the club unveiled Ange Postecoglou as head coach, with the owner tasking him to elevate Forest to contend for silverware.
• Postecoglou arrives months after winning the Europa League with Tottenham, who still dismissed him in June following a 17th-place league finish.
• Nuno departs three months after signing a new three-year contract, having led Forest to seventh place and their first European qualification in about 30 years.
• The upheaval follows public friction over transfer involvement between Nuno and Marinakis, and it marks the Premier League’s first managerial sacking of the season.
