Nottm Forest ‘consider re-appointment’ of former manager as ‘preferred option’ revealed
Lewis Oldham Ange Postecoglou, mate
According to reports, Nottingham Forest are ‘considering’ a surprise ‘re-appointment’ of a former manager to replace sacked boss Ange Postecoglou.
Former Celtic and Spurs head coach Postecoglou was appointed to replace Nuno Espirito Santo at Nottm Forestearlier this season and he has already been sacked.
This was a puzzling appointment as Postecoglouadopts a completely different style of play and he is without a win in his eight games in charge across all competitions.
Postecoglou quickly became the favourite to be the next Premier League manager sackedand Forest confirmed his dismissal after Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Chelsea.
The club said on X: ‘Nottingham Forest Football Club can confirm that after a series of disappointing results and performances, Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties as head coach with immediate effect. The club will make no further comment at this time.’
Ahead of Saturday’s match against Chelsea, BBC reporter Sami Mokbel claimed Forest have three ‘options’ in mind to replace Postecoglou, though Fulham boss Marco Silva is their ‘preferred’ target.
Sean Dyche is also on their radar, while Mokbel has also revealed that the ‘prospect of re-appointing Steve Cooper has been considered’.

Mokbel explained:
‘It is understood the process of identifying replacements in the event of Ange Postecoglou’s sacking are under way, and developed during the international break.
‘On Forest’s radar is Fulham head coach Marco Silva, with sources indicating that the Portuguese is the preferred option of a number of internal figures at the City Ground.’
Postecoglou made interesting team selections for the Chelsea game as he started Taiwo Awonyi, Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
He commented on the potential benefits of this international break and was hoping that “some of the noise dies down a little bit”, which obviously did not end up happening.
“Not so much a rest, but a chance to reflect on the first period. We had a good couple of weeks training,” Postecoglou said pre-match.

“Players who will start today like Murillo, Douglas Luiz and Zinchenko, we did really good work with them. We hadn’t had the time to do a lot of training since we started so those two weeks have been invaluable for that.”
On the return of Murillo, Luiz and Zinchenko, he said: “They have proven Premier League experience. Murillo has hardly played for us, but when Dougie and Zinchenko have played they have made a difference to us so I’m sure they will contribute today.”
When asked what he thinks fans can expect to see, Postecoglou responded: “Whatever I say is irrelevant. No one wants to win more than me.
“I’m certainly not happy we haven’t won so far but it hasn’t been for the want of trying and we have been in games we should have won.
“Hopefully that win comes today and some of the noise dies down a little bit, I don’t think it will totally go but we will certainly kick out a few weeds and hopefully see a few more flowers.”
