Ange Postecoglou has broken cover after months away from the public eye‚ sparking speculation about what the Australian has been up to since his shock exit from Nottingham Forest. It follows a turbulent 2025 for the 60-year-old‚ with his difficulties beginning earlier in the year at Tottenham‚ where his departure came under unusual circumstances. Despite leading Spurs to their first major trophy in over 17 years with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao‚ Postecoglou was dismissed just 16 days later. The club deemed their Premier League campaign - finishing 17th under his management with 22 losses in 38 matches - unacceptable.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche is one of the names under consideration to replace Ange Postecoglou at Nottingham Forest. The Australian was sacked just 18 minutes after Nottingham Forest's home defeat by Chelsea to bring a brutal end to the shortest permanent managerial tenure in Premier League history.
