Nottingham Forest have parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo, and they are set to appoint a new coach…
Super Eagles stars Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina will get a new coach at Nottingham Forest, as the club is close to appointing Australian tactician Ange Postecoglou to replace Nuno Espirito Santo, Soccernet.ng reports.
There has been a lot of drama at the City Ground over the last two weeks. It started when coach Nuno told journalists that his relationship with Nottingham Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis had deteriorated.
It was also revealed that Nuno had a very bad relationship with the club's global head of football, Edu Gaspar, who was appointed in July.
Since Nuno's comments, there have series of meetings at the club, which led to the Portuguese tactician's sack on Monday.
The club have wasted little time in getting a replacement, as transfers expert David Ornstein reports that Nottingham Forest have agreed on terms with former Tottenham coach Postecoglou.
The 60-year-old tactician has loads of experience, as asides from Tottenham, he has coached some clubs in Australia, including the national team. Postecoglou also coached Celtic to multiple titles in Scotland.
He is famed for always winning a trophy in his second season.
How Will Postecoglou's Appointment Affect Ola Aina And Taiwo Awoniyi At Nottingham Forest?
Over the last few years, coach Nage Postecoglou has gained a reputation for being dogmatic with his attacking approach.
At Tottenham, he had a very good attacking side, but they conceded goals aplenty.
In his two years as Tottenham coach, they conceded 126 goals in 76 Premier League games.
So, there will likely be a sharp shift now that he is coming to Nottingham Forest. Under Nuno Espirito Santo's tutelage, the Tricky Trees were known for their defensive solidity and attacking efficiency.
Postecoglou's appointment at Forest would definitely affect the Super Eagles stars there, especially Ola Aina, who is a regular starter.
The Nigerian fullback will likely get more attacking duties now. Aina will have to show more in the opponents' final third, otherwise, he could lose his place.
For Taiwo Awoniyi, things might not change much. The signing of new attackers has made it tough for him to enter the starting lineup. It is unlikely that Postecoglou's appointment will change anything.
