Ange Postecoglou is back in the Premier League just months after Tottenham Hotspur sacked him.
Nottingham Forest announced Postecoglou’s hiring the morning after they fired Nuno Espirito Santo.
The former Tottenham boss spoke for the first time after confirmation of his new job, and he admitted that he knew his sacking was coming.
What did Postecoglou say about his Tottenham sacking?
After Forest presented the 60-year-old, he spoke on the end to his Tottenham career, saying, “[It] wasn’t great. I knew it was coming, so it wasn’t a surprise.
“We won it [Europa League], we had the parade, so it was a great three days, and I didn’t want it to tarnish that. After that, I kind of knew it was done.”

Tottenham secured their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League, but the squad’s performances were far from convincing.
The club finished 17th in the Premier League last season, with Postecoglou prioritizing the Europa League.
Postecoglou continued, “What I do know is I had two years where it was very, very challenging, but I worked with some fantastic people in the football department.
“The supporters, we put them through some tough times, but there isn’t a Spurs supporter that I don’t come across now that doesn’t want to hug me and take me home for dinner, so I must have done something right.
“Ultimately, I think that’s what we do it for. It will always take a special place in my heart.”
