Postecoglou back in work three months after Spurs exit

Marinakis: ‘Ange has the credentials’

Ange Postecoglou has been confirmed as Nottingham Forest’s head coach, taking over from Nuno Espírito Santo. The Australian is back in work three months after he was dismissed by Tottenham and his contract is understood to run until 2027.

The appointment allows Postecoglou to attempt to win the Europa League once more, having won with Spurs before being sacked 16 days later. Forest are in the competition after Crystal Palace were denied entry by Uefa.

Postecoglou, born in Greece, has a personal relationship with Forest’s Greek owner, Evangelos Marinakis, whose breakdown in relations with Nuno led to the Portuguese’s departure. Marinakis has previously spoken of his admiration for Postecoglou.
