Super Eagles Stars To Rejoin Nottingham Forest Under New Coach

When Super Eagles duo Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi return to Nottingham Forest after the international break, they will meet a new manager in charge, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Forest on Tuesday afternoon confirmed the appointment of Ange Postecoglou following the dismissal of Nuno Espírito Santo.

Postecoglou himself parted ways with Tottenham Hotspur in June, just days after guiding the club to the Europa League title.

Despite ending Spurs’ 17-year wait for silverware, he was shown the exit after overseeing their worst league finish since 1976/77, when they ended 17th.

The Greek-born Australian will now lead a Forest side sitting 10th in the Premier League with four points from three games.

His first assignment comes on Saturday in a daunting trip to Arsenal. Club owner Evangelos Marinakis is optimistic Postecoglou can replicate his Europa League success, with Forest tipped among the contenders for this season’s competition.
