Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has been appointed as the Nottingham Forest head coach after Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked from the position, Forest said on Tuesday.

Forest confirmed in the early hours of Tuesday that they had relieved Nuno of his duties. The Portuguese coach admitted last month that his relationship with the club's owner Evangelos Marinakis had broken down.

"We are bringing a coach to the club who has a proven and consistent record of winning trophies," Marinakis said in a statement about appointing Postecoglou.

"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."
