Nottingham Forest Hire Ange Postecoglou in Swift Move After Nuno’s Exit

The former Tottenham coach pledges an attacking, trophy-focused approach ahead of a congested schedule.

Overview

  • Forest confirmed Postecoglou as head coach roughly half a day after sacking Nuno Espírito Santo, whose relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis had broken down.
  • Postecoglou told club media he is determined to return Forest to their 'rightful place' and stressed a preference for front-foot football and winning trophies.
  • The club said he has reunited with key Spurs staff members Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery, Sergio Raimundo and goalkeeping coach Rob Burch.
  • He steps in without a preseason and faces an emotional player transition, with early tests at Arsenal, then Burnley, before a Europa League opener away to Real Betis.
  • Forest enter the Europa League for the first time in 30 years, while Postecoglou arrives months after winning that competition with Tottenham before being dismissed following a 17th-place league finish.
