Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new club manager.
Naija News reports Postecoglu replaces Nuno Espirito Santo, who was sacked following a fallout with club owner, Evangelos Marinakis.
Postecoglou himself was sacked by Tottenham in June, just days after winning the Europa League title for the North London club.
Despite ending Spurs’ 17-year wait to win a trophy, the Australian was dismissed due to Tottenham’s worst league season since 1976/77 as they finished 17th.
Speaking on Postecoglou’s appointment, Nottingham owner, Marinakis backed the 60-year-old Australian to win major trophies at the club just as he did during spells with Tottenham, Celtic, and Yokohama Marinos.
“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,” said Marinakis.
Postecoglou faces a daunting task of leading Forest, who sit 10th in the Premier League on four points after three games, for the first time in Saturday’s trip to Arsenal.
Speaking on why the club settled for Postecoglou, Marinakis praised his attacking style of football, hoping he can repeat his Europa League success, with Forest.
“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,” Marinakis said.
