Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as their new manager on a contract until 2027.
The Tricky Trees made the decision to part ways with Nuno Espirito Santo late on Monday night, with the Portuguese coach relieved of his duties after just under two years in charge at the City Ground following a public dispute with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Now the Greek business man has made the move to appoint for Tottenham manager Postecoglou following his Europa League victory last season.

Postecoglou left the north London club despite winning the Europa League last season, ending their 17-year trophy drought in the process, after finishing 17th in the Premier League with a record 22 losses for a team that weren't relegated.
But despite that Marinakis made the Australian-Greek coach his top target for the role and after he accepted the job, he has now been formally announced.
Speaking to the Nottingham Forest website, Marinakis said:
"We are bringing a coach to the Club who has a proven and consistent record of winning trophies. His experience of coaching teams at the highest level, along with his desire to build something special with us at Forest, makes him a fantastic person to help us on our journey and achieve consistently all our ambitions.
“After gaining promotion to the Premier League, then building consistently season after season to secure European football, we now must take the right step to compete with the very best and challenge for trophies. Ange has the credentials and the track-record to do this, and we are excited he is joining us on our ambitious journey."
Postecoglou will take charge of his first game in charge this weekend as his Forest side will travel to north London to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off.
