Nunu, who was appointed to Nottingham during the 2023-2024 season, has achieved outstanding results by completely transforming the team in the 2024-2025 season. After Nunu's tactics and players' performances, Nottingham competed to advance to the European Champions League and finished seventh in the season, making it to the Europa League.
However, the relationship with the owner was a problem. The possibility of being replaced is being discussed due to the feud with the owner. Marinakis has been at odds with Nunu since last season. After the game against Leicester City, he entered the stadium and was also seen berating Nunu himself. No one backed down. Speaking at a press conference after the opening of the 2025-2026 season, Nunu said "Squad composition was too far behind. The planned things didn't work out properly, and the team's preparation wasn't perfect. I don't even know what kind of team it is"He publicly criticized the club's management.

With the owner and manager at odds, Nottingham seems to be looking for a new coach candidate. Postecoglou is considered a strong candidate. Postecoglou took over at Tottenham in the 2023-2024 season and led Son Heung-min for two seasons as his teacher. In the 2024-2025 season, he suffered a severe slump in 17th place in the league, but he led Tottenham to the Europa League title and cut off Tottenham's long-standing relationship. Son Heung-min also lifted his first professional championship trophy under Postecoglou's system to relieve his sorrow.
Postecoglou is known to be more enthusiastic about returning to the EPL than other options, so he is likely to accept Nottingham's offer. If Postecoglou takes the helm of Nottingham, his showdown with Tottenham could also attract great attention. The first face-off between Nottingham and Tottenham this season will take place on December 14 at Nottingham's home stadium. Attention is also focusing on who will lead Nottingham in the game.
