Ange Postecoglou is set to be named as the new Nottingham Forest manager after the club parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday evening.

Nuno left his position as head coach at the City Ground late on Monday night and reports indicated that Postecoglou arrived at Forest’s training ground on Tuesday morning to complete his move.

The 60-year-old Australian was sacked by Tottenham at the end of last season following a dismal Premier League season when they finished 17th; he however led Spurs to a historic Europa League victory at the end of the season to end the club’s long-running trophy drought.

The 51-year-old Portuguese coach took charge of Forest in December 2023 after the dismissal of Steve Cooper and helped preserve their top-flight status. Last season, he helped Forest to a seventh place finish in the Premier League- their highest finish since 1994-95 – as they qualified for Europe for the first time in three decades.

If Postecoglou will be appointed before Forest’s trip to Arsenal on Saturday, he would become the eighth permanent manager since Evangelos Marinakis took over the club in May 2017.
