"Scott spent 20 years at Tottenham until leaving two years ago after a clash with the then manager, Ange Postecoglou, who was in charge of Forest for eight matches this season. It was widely reported at the time that Scott had clashed with Postecoglou over the players' workload and management of their recovery, with Tottenham declining to comment."
"Forest's struggles have not been helped by injuries, with 19 players ruled out at some stage, one of the worst records in the Premier League. Only Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal have had more injuries, and those clubs have deeper squads."
"Tottenham's squad has been devastated by injuries for the last two seasons under Postecoglou and Thomas Frank, with the club experiencing 41 injuries last season leading to 1,553 days out, the second-highest total in the Premier League after Brighton."
Nottingham Forest hired Geoff Scott, formerly Tottenham's head of medicine and sports science, as their new director of performance director. Scott spent 20 years at Tottenham before departing two years ago following disagreements with manager Ange Postecoglou over player workload and recovery management. Forest face relegation danger, sitting two points above the bottom three with 19 players sidelined at various stages this season. Only Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal have experienced more injuries, though those clubs possess deeper squads. Scott will oversee a restructured medical department as Dr Prithish Narayan departs to return to NHS work. Forest's fourth manager this season, Vitor Pereira, aims to stabilize the club before their Brighton fixture.
