Officially unveiled to the Forest faithful, the Australian tactician conveyed his excitement about returning to the Premier League and the challenge that lies ahead.
Postecoglou, known for his attacking and dynamic style of play, previously managed Celtic with considerable success, winning multiple league titles and domestic cups. His appointment has generated significant buzz amongst Forest supporters, who are hoping he can replicate that success in the English top flight.

The manager’s ambition is a welcome message for Forest fans, who have experienced periods of both success and struggle in recent years. The club has a rich history, but has spent much of the last two decades bouncing between divisions.

This approach is expected to resonate with the Forest squad, who will be eager to embrace his methods and strive for success.
The Premier League is arguably the most competitive league in the world, and Postecoglou is under no illusions about the challenges that lie ahead. He acknowledges the quality of the opposition and the demands of the league, but remains confident in his ability to build a team capable of competing at the highest level.
“It won’t be easy,” he admitted. “The Premier League is full of quality teams and talented players. But we will work hard, we will be well-prepared, and we will give everything we have to achieve our goals.”
Forest’s recruitment team will be working closely with Postecoglou to identify and acquire players who fit his system and enhance the squad’s overall quality. The transfer window is expected to be a busy one for the club, as they look to strengthen in key areas and provide Postecoglou with the tools he needs to succeed.
The manager’s appointment has also been met with positive reactions from pundits and analysts. Many believe that Postecoglou is a shrewd appointment for Forest, and that his tactical acumen and leadership qualities will be invaluable as they navigate the challenges of the Premier League.
