Ange Postecoglou: New Nottingham Forest boss doesn’t ‘have anything to prove’

Ange Postecoglou says he doesn’t “have to prove anything to anyone” as he starts his reign as Nottingham Forest’s new boss.

Postecoglou was appointed on Tuesday, with the club sacking Nuno Espirito Santo late on Monday after 21 months in charge at the City Ground.

The Australian returns to management three months after he was sacked by Tottenham following a dismal Premier League season, in which they finished 17th.

However, Postecoglou ended Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought by leading them to the Europa League title in May.

The 60-year-old was initially praised for the attacking style he implemented at Spurs, but he was forced to defend himself from criticism for sticking to his high-intensity principles as Spurs lost 22 of their 38 league matches last season.

Asked if he wanted to prove doubters wrong, Postecoglou said: “I don’t see it as a point to prove. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

“I do like my teams to play exciting football and score goals and get fans excited. I make no apologies about that, that’s just the way I am.”

He joked that he would find out “who the true Ange believers” are as he makes the switch from Spurs to Forest.

Postecoglou’s first game in charge will be on Saturday as Forest travel to Arsenal.
