Nottingham Forest have appointed former Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou as their new manager.

It comes hours after the Premier League club sacked Nuno Espirito Santo just three games into the new season.

Postecoglou, 60, was sacked by Spurs after winning the Europa League in May, ending the north London side's 17-year wait for a trophy.

In a statement, Forest's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, said: "We are bringing a coach to the club who has a proven and consistent record of winning trophies.

"His experience of coaching teams at the highest level, along with his desire to build something special with us at Forest, makes him a fantastic person to help us on our journey and achieve consistently all our ambitions.
