Burt said 'Nunu has been replaced, and Postecoglou is expected to take over as Nottingham head coach as early as this week. This was decided through emergency talks after the A-match break, and now it has been officially confirmed.




It was then reported that Postecoglou's appointment was imminent in Nottingham. 'The owner wants aggressive football and believes Postecoglou can make this happen'

Nottingham Forest said on the club's official website on the 9th that the club dismissed Santo as manager today due to the recent situation. I would like to thank him for his contributions to a very successful period at Nottingham, especially his role in the 2024-2025 season. This will be remembered forever in club history. As someone who played a pivotal role in our success last season, he will always have a special place in our journey.'"

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.

Nunu eventually left the team due to a power struggle with the owner. Nunu has shown his capabilities on the England stage since Wolverhampton, and has also coached Tottenham in the past. He coached Son Heung-min, but was later replaced due to poor performance, but he achieved an outstanding performance in Nottingham.

Postecoglou, Son Heung-min's teacher, is likely to be appointed as the next coach. Postecoglou left the team two seasons after taking the helm of Tottenham this summer. He took over at Tottenham as Antonio Conte's replacement, and only half of his existing four-year contract was filled. The reason for the dismissal was by far the poor performance. He won the Europa League final and won his first trophy in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season, but was unable to make up for all his disastrous performances in the league. Tottenham are 17th in the league this season, falling to the brink of relegation.




For Nottingham, Postecoglou could be an attractive enough candidate if he wants to play aggressive football. Postecoglou also showed high lines and attack-oriented tactics during his time at Tottenham. If he is appointed to Nottingham, his confrontation with Tottenham is also expected to draw attention. The first face-off between Nottingham and Tottenham this season will take place on December 14 at Nottingham's home stadium. If Postecoglou is appointed to Nottingham, there will be a lot of interest because it is a game where Tottenham's boomerang may return.
