Nottingham Forest have appointed ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach to replace the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.
Fullview learnt Postecoglou has signed a two-year deal at the City Ground.
Postecoglou returns to management just three months after being sacked by Spurs, despite leading them to Europa League glory to end their 17-year trophy drought.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said: “We are bringing a coach to the club who has a proven and consistent record of winning trophies.
“His experience of coaching teams at the highest level, along with his desire to build something special with us at Forest, makes him a fantastic person to help us on our journey and achieve consistently all our ambitions.”
Forest currently sit 10th in the Premier League table after their opening three games of the season.
Nuno’s last match in charge was a 3-0 defeat by West Ham before September’s international break.
The 51-year-old Portuguese coach took charge of Forest in December 2023 after the dismissal of Steve Cooper and helped preserve their top-flight status.
Last term he guided the club to seventh in the Premier League – their highest finish since 1994-95 – as they qualified for Europe for the first time in three decades.
The 60-year-old is set for a swift return to north London as Forest visit Tottenham’s rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.
