NOTTINGHAM FOREST APPOINT ANGE POSTECOGLOU AS NEW MANAGER
Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach following the sacking of Nuno Espírito Santo.
Postecoglou is thought to have signed a deal until the end of next season and will take charge of Saturday's trip to Arsenal – the bitter rivals of his former club Tottenham.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis moved to dismiss Nuno following the Portuguese's outspoken remarks about the club during the early weeks of the campaign. Postecoglou, 60, will be leant upon to match Nuno's seventh-placed finish last term, and at least go close to repeating last season's Europa League triumph with Spurs.
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.
'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.'
