Nottingham Forest have appointed A-Leagues legend Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach.
Postecoglou returns to the Premier League to replace Portuguese Nuno Espirito Santo, who was dismissed by Forest.
The Australian trailblazer is back in England’s top flight after leading Tottenham to an historic UEFA Europa League trophy last season – the club’s first European title in 41 years before departing Spurs.
