Things move fast in Nottingham. Reports of crisis meetings following statements by coach Nuno Santo that the club will have problems this season”, saw the dismissal on Tuesday of the Portuguese success coach with 7th place in the Premier League, the season after near-relegation for Forest. A few hours later, a new coach is in place.
Ange Postecoglou is used to tough battles with club owners at Tottenham, where former chairman Daniel Levy had a disturbing record of clashing with the Spurs manager and then sending them out of the gate. Still, now that the Australian has accepted the next Premier League club, he should know that this time he will be coming to a real Greek hornet’s nest with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

On Tuesday afternoon, the confirmation of Postecoglou’s appointment came.
“We are bringing in a coach who has proven that he can win trophies. His experience in coaching teams at the highest level, combined with his desire to build something special with us at Forest, makes him the perfect coach to help us on our journey and achieve all our ambitions,” Evangelos Marinakis told the club’s website.
Postecoglou has shown he cynically sacrificed the Premier League to bring home the Europa League trophy last season, Tottenham’s first in 17 years. Now the Australian will bring his success from the Europa League to the forests of Nottingham, but 17th place in the Premier League like last season, the Greek Marinakis certainly does not accept that.
