"It is fair to say that Ange Postecoglou had a hard time during his 40-day stint at Nottingham Forest, but there is perhaps a more difficult test on the way. Being out of work means that his name is automatically going to be linked with available coaching jobs in Europe. It's a nice problem to have, especially as the northern winter approaches and axes start to fall."
"There are few available coaches whose fingerprints are still on a major European trophy and who also have recent and major Premier League experience. There have already been changes in England's top tier with Forest being the main driver, firing Nuno Espirito Santo who then went on to replace Graham Potter at West Ham United, then bringing in Postecoglou and then replacing him with Sean Dyche. In the coming weeks and months, more will follow."
"There are lots of skill sets that a successful head coach must have, but one of the most important and the least talked about is knowing when to shake the head instead of hands when there is an approach. In that sense, Celtic is the ultimate test. In the past five months, the Australian has experienced real highs and lows that must be dizzying."
Ange Postecoglou endured a difficult 40-day spell at Nottingham Forest and now faces likely links to coaching vacancies across Europe. He remains one of few coaches with a recent major European trophy and significant Premier League experience. Rapid managerial changes in England's top tier involved Forest and a chain of replacements including Nuno Espirito Santo, Graham Potter, West Ham and Sean Dyche. A key coaching skill is knowing when to decline approaches. Celtic represents a testing option; Postecoglou won multiple trophies there from 2021–2023, but the club is now in turmoil after Brendan Rodgers’s resignation amid criticism from major shareholder Dermot Desmond.
