Nottingham Forest will turn to Ange Postecoglou to replace Nuno Espírito Santo, according to widespread reports this morning.

Nuno was sacked overnight despite leading Forest to a seventh-placed finish in the Premier League last season and a return to European competition for the first time in 30 years.

His relationship with club owner Evangelos Marinakis had deteriorated over recent months with the Portuguese admitting “they were no longer close”.

Marinakis will now entrust the role to Postecoglou, who is out of work after being dismissed by Tottenham in June.
