Ange Postecoglou is expected to replace the sacked Nuno Espirito
Santo at Nottingham Forest.
Nuno left his position as head coach at the City Ground late on Monday
night and the club are advancing with their efforts to land a replacement.
Sources are indicating that Postecoglou, 60, is a strong candidate for
the position. Initial contact is understood to have taken place amid a
sense an agreement is possible.
Postecoglou was sacked by Tottenham at the end of last season
following a dismal Premier League season when they finished 17 th .
However, the Australian led Spurs to a historic Europa League victory at
the end of the season to end the club’s long-running trophy drought.
Forest currently sit 10 th in the Premier League table after their opening
three games of the season.
After 21 months in charge, 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.
He would become the eighth permanent manager since Evangelos
Marinakis took over the club in May 2017.
