Ange Postecoglou's Forest unveiling
Digest more
Ange Postecoglou has admitted that he expected the axe at Tottenham Hotspur long before the club’s Europa League triumph.
A former head of sports science at Celtic says Ange Postecoglou will "waste no time" imposing his style at new club Nottingham Forest. Anton McElhone worked under Postecoglou at the Scottish Premiership club between 2021 and 2023 - winning five trophies across their two seasons together.
Ange Postecoglou said he had nothing to prove at his official unveiling as Nottingham Forest's new manager on Thursday, saying he hoped to add another chapter to the club's storied history.
That is backed up by Opta Analyst and their supercomputer, which has ranked Nottingham Forest as the third favourites to win the Europa League. They have been given an 11.3% chance of lifting the trophy, while only Roma (12.8%) and Aston Villa (21.6%) have been ranked higher.
Arteta has won all three top-flight home meetings against Forest, under Santo and Steve Cooper, but a reunion with Postecoglou poses a fresh test. All the pre-game focus will centre on Postecoglou as the Australian makes an instant Premier League return.
