"In the end, Ange Postecoglou's time out of the Premier League has lasted all of three months, with the 60-year-old quickly appointed as the new manager of Nottingham Forest following the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo. ESPN sources say the contract runs through to 2027. Just three games into the new season, the Australian is back in the English top flight, and the former Tottenham Hotspur coach will be in the dugout when his new side travels to the Emirates to face Arsenal on Saturday."
"Does that mean Forest can be pencilled in for a trophy in the 2026-27 season, continuing a habit of winning trophies in his second season? That was made immortal by his delivery of a Europa League title to Spurs last season. At this stage you almost underestimate Postecoglou at your own peril, given most would have thought he wasn't being serious when he declared, following a 1-0 north London derby defeat last season, that "I'll correct myself -- I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year.""
Ange Postecoglou returned to the Premier League three months after leaving, appointed Nottingham Forest manager on a contract running through 2027 following Nuno Espirito Santo's sacking. The 60-year-old Australian will lead Forest as they travel to Arsenal at the Emirates. Postecoglou delivered a Europa League title to Tottenham last season and has a reputation for winning trophies in his second season. Owner Evangelos Marinakis moved to dismiss Nuno during the international break. Forest's squad was built to play a risk-averse, counter-attacking style that contrasts with Postecoglou's preferred expansive approach, creating potential tension early in his tenure.
