Roy Keane, former Nottingham Forest midfielder, did not hold back in his reaction to the club sacking Nuno Espirito Santo and appointing Ange Postecoglou as the new head coach. Keane expressed his lack of surprise at the decision, citing the notorious reputation of the club’s owner, Marinakis, for being tough on managers.
Keane emphasized that managing Forest under Marinakis’ ownership comes with immense pressure and expectations. He made it clear that he had no sympathy for any manager who chooses to take on the challenge of coaching at Forest, given the circumstances surrounding the club.
Postecoglou, who previously won the Europa League with Spurs but was later dismissed due to their poor league performance, has been brought in by Marinakis to lead Forest. Marinakis highlighted Postecoglou’s successful track record and desire to achieve greatness with Forest as reasons for his appointment.
In an official statement, Forest thanked Nuno for his contributions during a successful period at the club, particularly his role in the memorable 2024/25 season. Despite parting ways with Nuno, the club acknowledged his role in their recent achievements and wished him well.
Postecoglou wasted no time in immersing himself in his new role, watching Forest train on the same day he was appointed and preparing to lead the team for their upcoming match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. With ambitious goals set by Marinakis, Forest will look to challenge for trophies under their new head coach.
