Ange Postecoglou has been confirmed as the new manager of Nottingham Forest.
The City Ground club have announced the former Celtic boss as their quickfire replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo, who was dismissed overnight.
Postecoglou has been linked ever since it became apparent Santo's future was in doubt due to strained relations with owner Evangelos Marinakis and Edu, global head of football.

His experience of coaching teams at the highest level, along with his desire to build something special with us at Forest, makes him a fantastic person to help us on our journey and achieve consistently all our ambitions.
“After gaining promotion to the Premier League, then building consistently season after season to secure European football, we now must take the right step to compete with the very best and challenge for trophies. Ange has the credentials and the track-record to do this, and we are excited he is joining us on our ambitious journey."
