[Ange Postecoglou](https://www.celticway.co.uk/topics/ange-postecoglou/) is reportedly not keen on the Nottingham Forest job - but does want another opportunity in the Premier League.

The former Celtic boss has been named as a frontrunner for the vacancy with Nuno Espirito Santo's future believed to be in doubt due to tensions with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Postecoglo was sacked by Tottenham in the summer after finishing 17th in the Premier League during his second season in charge, despite winning the Europa League.

He is said to be keen on a return to the English top flight, but it is unlikely to be with Forest.

“He wants to return to the Premier League, but it needs to be for the right opportunity. Nuno has got wind of that before his press conference. I understand that maybe he was advised to play it down. Business as usual. Nothing to see here.
