Overview

• Ange Postecoglou was appointed this week to replace Nuno Espirito Santo, who was sacked after a breakdown with owner Evangelos Marinakis and reported tensions over transfers.
• The 60-year-old vowed to win trophies at Forest, acknowledged supporters’ trust must be earned, and even suggested he may need silverware in his first season to secure a second year.
• His debut comes away to Arsenal on Saturday, a quick turnaround after only a few days working with the squad he praised for its balance and depth.
• Forest spent well over £150m on summer signings and return to the Europa League for the first time in 30 years, raising performance expectations across all competitions.
• Postecoglou has reunited key staff from his Tottenham tenure, adding assistants Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo, with Rob Burch as goalkeeper coach.
