Nottingham Forest have appointed former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou as their replacement for the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.
Nuno was relieved of his duties on Monday night (September 8) following a breakdown in his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Postecoglou, who has been out of a job since leaving Spurs in June, has secured a quickfire return to work as Forest’s new head coach.
The Australian was sacked by the north London club just 16 days after leading them to Europa League glory.
He will now get another crack at the Premier League and European football at the City Ground and Marinakis has brought him in to win trophies.The Greek businessman 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.
“Ange has the credentials and the track-record to do this and we are excited he is joining us on our ambitious journey.”
Postecoglou is set for a swift return to north London as Forest visit Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime. 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.
Nuno was sacked on Monday night after publicly falling out with Marinakis this summer.
