Forest parted company with [Nuno Espirito Santo](/topic/nuno-espirito-santo) on Monday night and have moved quickly to find his successor.
A statement read: “Nottingham Forest Football Club confirms that, following recent circumstances, Nuno Espírito Santo has today been relieved of his duties as Head Coach.
“The Club thanks Nuno for his contribution during a very successful era at the City Ground, in particular his role in the 2024/25 season, which will forever be remembered fondly in the history of the Club.
“As someone who played a pivotal role in our success last season, he will always hold a special place in our journey.”
According to the Athletic, Postecoglou is to be confirmed as the new Forest head coach imminently and will be joined by a number of staff he worked with at Tottenham prior to his departure earlier in the summer.
Furthermore, it is expected that Australian’s first game in charge of Forest will be away at Arsenal after the international break.
Previously tipped for a return to management with LAFC, Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce, the 60-year-old is set for another chance in the Premier League.
Postecoglou was relieved of his duties at Tottenham following a disastrous Premier League campaign last season in which he oversaw 22 defeats and and 17th-placed finish in the table.
