The Australian coach was called up following club owner Evangelos Marinakis’ decision to sack Nuno Espirito Santo last month.
Postecoglou’s appointment was seen as a controversial risk, following his dismissal from Tottenham Hostpur over the summer after finishing the 2024/25 Premier League season in 17th place.
Their drive to win the UEFA Europa League title in May, and end Spurs’ 17-year wait for a trophy, divided the fan base over their future.
Daniel Levy’s call to sack him put several Premier League clubs on notice about his availability and Marinakis pounced on his own much-criticised call to get rid of Nuno.
The trigger-happy Greek businessman ended Postecoglou’s misery after just 39 days at the City Ground – the second-shortest coaching spell in EPL history – without a win in his eight games in charge in all competitions.

Veteran boss Sean Dyche has been mooted as an option to become the third manager of Forest’s campaign, but reports from The Guardian claim Roberto Mancini is also interested in the role.
Both managers have Premier League experience, with Dyche in charge of 333 games at Burnley and Everton, with Mancini in charge of Manchester City for 191 games.
The Italian manager led City to their first Premier League title in 2012 and won UEFA Euro 2020 as Italy manager.
Marinakis has reportedly been in contact with both coaches, who are out of work following Mancini’s departure as Saudi Arabia boss in 2024, but a move for Fulham’s Marco Silva could be blocked by his 8 million pounds ($10.75 million) termination clause that would complicate Forest’s profitability and sustainability objectives.
