Nottingham Forest have made a big move in the Premier League world by appointing Ange Postecoglou as their new First Team Head Coach. This exciting news comes just one day after the club parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo, signaling a fresh start for the team.
Ange Postecoglou brings over 25 years of coaching experience to Nottingham Forest, where he’s known for turning teams into winners and lifting major trophies. Fans are already buzzing about his arrival at the City Ground, as he steps in to boost the club’s ambitions in the Premier League.
Postecoglou’s career highlights include stunning successes with Brisbane Roar in Australia and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan, where he won league titles with both clubs. He then took charge at Celtic in Scotland back in June 2021. His time there was nothing short of magical—he grabbed the domestic double in his first season and followed it up with a treble in the second, earning a spot as a nominee for the FIFA World Coach of the Year in 2023. That’s the kind of trophy-winning magic Nottingham Forest hopes to see.
Later, Postecoglou headed to England to manage Tottenham Hotspur. In his debut season, he led Spurs to a solid fifth-place finish in the Premier League. The highlights kept coming as he guided them to their first major trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League in the 2024/25 season, which also secured a Champions League spot. But things turned sour with a disappointing 17th-place league finish, leading to his exit from the North London club. Now, he’s ready for a new challenge with Nottingham Forest.
Club owner Evangelos Marinakis couldn’t hide his excitement about bringing Postecoglou on board. “We’re welcoming a coach with a rock-solid track record of winning trophies,” Marinakis said. “Ange’s experience at the top level, combined with his passion to build something special here at Forest, makes him the perfect fit to help us chase our goals and compete with the best.”
He added, “After earning promotion to the Premier League and steadily building our squad to reach European football, it’s time to take that next big step. We want to challenge for trophies and Ange has the skills and history to make it happen. We’re thrilled he’s joining our ambitious journey at Nottingham Forest.”
This appointment could be a game-changer for Nottingham Forest fans, as Postecoglou’s attacking style and winning mentality aim to shake up the Premier League standings. Keep an eye on how he transforms the team in the coming seasons!
