Ange Postecoglou has been appointed head coach of Nottingham Forest and set the target of winning silverware after replacing the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.
Nuno left his position at the City Ground late on Monday night after 21 months in charge – and only three games into the season.
Postecoglou returns to management three months after he was sacked by Tottenham following a dismal Premier League season when they finished 17th.
However, the 60-year-old Australian led Spurs to a historic Europa League victory at the end of the season to end the club’s long trophy drought.
Postecoglou will be presented as Forest boss at a news conference at 13:30 BST on Thursday.
Forest owner Evangelos 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.”
Forest sit 10th in the Premier League table after taking four points from their opening three games of the season.
Nuno’s last match in charge was a 3-0 defeat by West Ham before September’s international break.
The 51-year-old Portuguese coach took charge of Forest in December 2023 after the dismissal of Steve Cooper and helped preserve their top-flight status.
Postecoglou’s first game in charge will be Forest’s trip to Arsenal on Saturday.
He becomes the eighth permanent manager since Marinakis took over in May 2017.
