First Team Head Coach: Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as the Club’s First Team Head Coach. The news follows just a day after the club relieved Nuno Espirito Santo from his duties.

Postecoglou has been in management for over 25 years, arriving on Trentside with experience of regularly competing and winning trophies at the highest level.

After enjoying very successful seasons with Brisbane Roar and Yokohama F. Marinos, winning the League with both clubs, he was appointed manager of Celtic in June 2021. A successful tenure in Glasgow saw Postecoglou win the domestic double in his first season in Scotland and the treble in his second year, which earned him a nomination for the FIFA World Coach of the Year in 2023.

Moving to England to take over at Tottenham Hotspur, who finished fifth in his first season, Postecoglou guided Spurs to their first major trophy in 17 years, winning the Europa League in 2024/25 and qualifying for the Champions League. However that was not enough as a 17th placed finish in the league saw him leave the North London club.
