Nottingham Forest have appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach following the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday.
The Australian manager, who previously rejected approaches from Al Ahli and was linked with Brentford after Thomas Frank’s departure, brings Premier League experience to the City Ground.
Postecoglou spent two seasons at Tottenham Hotspur, taking charge of 101 matches in all competitions, winning 47, drawing 15, and losing 39, giving him a 46.5% win rate. He guided Spurs to a fifth-place finish in his first season (2023/24) but endured a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, finishing 17th — the club’s worst-ever Premier League position.
Despite league struggles, he ended Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought by winning the 2024/25 Europa League trophy with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
At Forest, he succeeds Nuno Espirito Santo, who led the club to a seventh-place finish last season and secured Europa League qualification after Crystal Palace’s demotion to the Conference League, marking Forest’s first European appearance in 30 years.
Forest have collected four points from their opening three games of the 2025/26 campaign and currently sit 10th in the Premier League table.
Postecoglou will be seeking his first win when his side face Arsenal in their next fixture.
