Nottingham Forest considering Ange Postecoglou as potential replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo

In a surprising turn of events, Nottingham Forest is expected to announce the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach. The announcement is set for Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

Postecoglou, a coach with a rich background, replaces Nuno Espirito Santo who was sacked from Nottingham Forest in the early hours of Monday morning. The Australian-born coach has had a mixed experience at Tottenham Hotspur, where he previously worked, but his tenure ended in a disappointing 17th place in the league last season.

However, Postecoglou's success with Tottenham was not forgotten. Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest, praised Postecoglou in July, highlighting his victory in the Europa League last year with Tottenham against Manchester United (1-0). Marinakis, who is of Greek descent like Postecoglou, also noted his Greek heritage in his praise.

Postecoglou spoke about his pride for Greece in his success with Tottenham, a sentiment that resonated with Marinakis. The praise for Postecoglou by Marinakis was published in Neos Kosmos.

Postecoglou is expected to bring a different approach to Nottingham Forest. Having previously coached Celtic, he is known for his innovative strategies and passion for football. This, coupled with his Greek heritage, could potentially bring a fresh perspective to the team.

Nottingham Forest is currently playing in the Europa League this season, making Postecoglou's appointment even more significant. The club will be hoping that under his leadership, they can make a strong showing in the competition.

Postecoglou was born in Athens before his family emigrated to Australia in 1970. His journey from Greece to the English Premier League is a testament to his dedication and talent as a coach.

As the football world waits for the official announcement, fans and pundits alike are eager to see what Postecoglou can bring to Nottingham Forest. His appointment marks a new chapter for the club, and one that promises to be exciting and unpredictable.
