"Marinakis said on Tuesday of Postecoglou's appointment: 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."
"Marinakis has previously spoken of his admiration for Postecoglou. 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."
"The Australian is back in work three months after he was dismissed by Tottenham and his contract is understood to run until 2027. The appointment allows Postecoglou to try to retain the Europa League, which he won with Spurs before being sacked 16 days later. Forest are in the competition after Crystal Palace were denied entry by Uefa. Postecoglou, born in Greece, has a personal relationship with Forest's Greek owner, Evangelos Marinakis,"
Ange Postecoglou has been appointed Nottingham Forest head coach, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo, with a contract understood to run until 2027. He returns to work three months after his dismissal by Tottenham, where he won the Europa League before being sacked. Forest will compete in the Europa League after Crystal Palace were denied entry by UEFA, giving Postecoglou the chance to defend the trophy. Postecoglou has a personal relationship with club owner Evangelos Marinakis, whose strained relations with Nuno contributed to the managerial change. Postecoglou starts with a match at Arsenal and will face Spurs at the City Ground in mid-December. His adventurous style contrasts with Nuno's pragmatic approach.
