"Earlier this week, the Australian was appointed as the successor for Nuno Espírito Santo, who became the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season following a dispute with club owner and Greek billionaire Evangelos Marinakis. Despite ending Spurs' 17-year wait to win a trophy, Postecoglou himself was sacked by Tottenham just days after winning the Europa League - but he only needed three months before a return to the Premier League."
"Postecoglou is highly regarded; his amiable nature and warmth are the cornerstones of his man-management and they will be critical to win over players disappointed Nuno is no longer their leader," Unwin penned. However, Postecoglou's attacking philosophy - colloquially dubbed 'Angeball' - contrasts heavily from Nuno's cautious approach at Nottingham Forest, meaning the club's style of play could be headed for a drastic change."
Ange Postecoglou has been appointed Nottingham Forest manager following Nuno Espírito Santo's departure after a dispute with owner Evangelos Marinakis. Postecoglou left Tottenham shortly after winning the Europa League but returned to the Premier League within three months. Forest players and staff held admiration for Nuno and may not immediately embrace the new manager. Postecoglou is known for amiable man-management that helps win over players. His 'Angeball' philosophy prioritises attractive, attacking football with high lines, aggressive pressing and heavy possession. Nottingham Forest previously relied on low blocks, counterattacking breaks and limited possession, creating a tactical mismatch.
