Nottingham Forest appoint Postecoglou as new coach

Premier League side Nottingham Forest have appointed former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach.

Postecoglou was appointed on Tuesday to replace the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.

“Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as the Club’s First Team Head Coach,” the club statement read.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis said of Postecoglou’s appointment: “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.

“After gaining promotion to the Premier League, then building consistently season after season to secure European football, we now must take the right step to compete with the very best and challenge for trophies.

“Ange has the credentials and the track record to do this, and we are excited he is joining us on our ambitious journey.”

Postecoglou has been out of work since leaving Tottenham in June, just 16 days after leading them to Europa League glory.

The 60-year-old spent two seasons at Spurs and ended their trophy drought last season, but did so at the expense of the league, where they finished 17th.
